SYMPTOMS
If you configure a Routing and Remote Access server as either a dial-up server or a Network Address Translation (NAT) server, the default gateway that is associated with the virtual private network (VPN) interface is not added to the routing table of the Routing and Remote Access server when the VPN interface connects.



CAUSE
This behavior occurs because the Local area network (LAN) routing only option is selected under Routing and Remote Access properties. Select the LAN and demand-dial routing option if you want the the Routing and Remote Access Service Router Manager to add the default gateway associated with a VPN interface to the routing table when the VPN interface connects. When you do this, the Routing and Remote Access Service Router Manager does not add the default route that corresponds to the VPN connection.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue:
 * 1) In the Routing and Remote Access console, right-click the name of the Routing and Remote Access server, and then click Properties.
 * 2) Click the General tab, and then make sure that the Router check box and the LAN and demand-dial routing option are selected.
 * 3) Restart Routing and Remote Access, and then connect to the VPN connection.

Routing and Remote Access Service Router Manager adds the default route to the route table.



STATUS
This behavior is by design.



MORE INFORMATION
Even if you do not click to select the Basic Firewall check box in the NAT server properties of the public interface, you can still ping other computers from this computer.
