windows 2008 VPN affects clients accessing the internet when some one remotely connects in
HI, I have a windows 2008 server.
I have recently setup RRAS to allow incoming windows client VPN's.
when I connect an external client machine via windows VPN adapter (windows 10), it connects fine, I get an IP address from the server for the VPN. But cannot ping an resources at the office or any external IPs, such as google DNS.
Whats even more wierd, is that the 20 client machines in the office lose there internet connection. I know this, as we all use cloud based apps/databases and I get shouted at. Love my job.
I've researched plenty of forums, but none cover the issue.
I have setup a scope with in IPv4 tab
setup as LAN and demand-dial routing in the general tab under IPv4
WAN miniport PPTP is setup to remote access connections (inbound only), it did have demand dial routing inbound/outbound, but i unticked this.
any ideas

What subnet are you using for RRAS? And is it by chance the same subnet as you have at your remote location? That's always prone to cause issues.

both mine, the home user and the office are 255.255.255.0
Not the subnet mask, the actual IP address range.

I'm happy that the IP ranges need to be different and can conflict.
office - 192.168.200.0
home router - 192.168.1.0 and the other 10.0.0.0
office - 192.168.200.0
home router - 192.168.1.0 and the other 10.0.0.0

This is usually a DNS issue. In the DNS management console of your server right click on the server name and select the "Interfaces Tab". It is probably set to "all IP addresses". Change to "only these IP addresses" and select only the server's IPv4 and IPv6 LAN adapter's IPs. Often the VPNs virtual IP gets added and users loose Internet, a fairly common problem.

it was Tom Cieslik that sorted the issue on my test home pc.
thanks for your help people.

That is the fix for the remote system, but I assume it didn't fix the office workers?
