Thanks for your reply. Yes this is causing me some frustration - not least
because it was all working fine up to the end of November last year. I would
appreciate your help on notes I have put against relevant sections below so
that I can get the whole thing working as designed.
As background, my SBS server started life a number of years ago and has been
upgraded through 4.5 and then to 2k. It has 2 NICs, and is now connected via
ADSL (Speedtouch 510) using smallbizserver.net guidance. The original
domain name is PROSSORNT and my external domain is PROSSOR.COM. For some
reason when the upgrade to SBS2k was done the engineer doing the install
created the active directory domain as PROSSORSNT.PROSSORS.COM. From all
posts I believe I am stuck with this. However it does have some bearing
because all my users log on to PROSSORNT and the system is running in mixed
mode.

I have re added the DisableNetbiosOverTcpip key in registry. Subsequently I

this does not happen. I can connect to all resources using \\servername but
cannot browse from VPN. I can ping by name or by IP.

In RRAS properties IP tab, I selected a range of static IP's to be assigned
172.16.0.1 to 172.16.0.50. The whole range is already included in the LAT.
(BTW I could not connect to resources on the internal LAN even with
\\servername from VPN where the internal resource had a non-dhcp assigned IP
even though the name was resolved - ping would resolve the name to IP but
then would not be able to communicate. I could only connect if the VPN
addresses were in the same scope as the internal ones (i.e not static pool).
I have now resolved this by entering reservations in my internal scope and
assigning all addresses by DHCP)

Can you clarify this. My ADSL has an IP of 80.176.221.153 and my external
network card is 80.176.221.154. the properties of the external NIC have the
router as the gateway. To set up a static route in the router I need a
destination, source, gateway and interface. What should these be? (Is this
where my problem really lies?)
