VPN issues

[Wilforve]

Recently i have installed Windows Server 2008 on my server in my
basement and deployed it as a file server and a VPN so ica naccess my
Files remtely since im in the military and travel alot. Heres my issue:

From home i can do the following:

Access all shares through my networking
VPN inside the network to the server
VPN to the Routers IP (my server is set to have ports forwarded to allow
for VPN)
Stream Video
Access files

Remotely (IE outside my home network)
I can setup the VPN so it shows that im connected and the ipconfig in
command prompt shows the link is active, however i have the same IP of
my server and cant access any resources at all.
I can Remote desktop to the server and take full control of it

What do i need to change or install to make me able to access my shares
remotely?


Server Specs:

Windows sever 2008
1 Nic
File Server Role installed
Network and Routing Role Installed
- Custom setup
-VPN Access
-Nat Installed

Various shares allowing for multiple hardrives to be accessed
Ports forwarded to allow VPN and VPN pass through enabled

Make sure that your laptop's subnet differs from the subnet of your home
network.

Ok, Update

VPN is Now active, i forgot to include that since my server only has 1
Nic in it i have to use the custom configuration and the VPN has to be
on the same ip address range and the same subnet mask, that being said i
am now on my network and can see all my shares on OTHER computers of my
network, But i can not see the Network shares or anything to do with the
server itself for that matter. Any light someone can shed on why a VPN
server cant share files as well?

When you launch a VPN then you automatically get a second "adapter" which is
basically a dial-up adapter. This adapter will get the same subnet address
as the subnet address of the target. To make things work, you must give your
physical NIC a different subnet address.
