vpn ip issuing problem

Hi

I have just reinstalled my sbs2000 using the ip 10.0.0.2/255.255.255.0. I am
now trying to vpn to a remote sbs 2000 with ip 192.168.16.2/255.255.255.0.
The problem is that when I am connected, I get an address in the range
192.168.16.x from the remote dhcp but the subnet mask is 255.255.255.255!!!
I then have problem in logging in to the terminal services on the remote
sbs2000. Are these two connected? What can I do to fix this?

Thanks

Regards

Yes, this is normal to get a 255.255.255.255 subnet mask from the VPN
connection.
Once you connect, can you ping the IP address or name of the SBS 2000
machine? Can you access things other than Terminal Services on the remote
network?

John,

The 255.255.255.255 subnet mask is normal. Here are my IP settings when
connected to a working VPN.

IP Address: 192.168.16.61
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.255
Default Gateway: 192.168.16.61
DNS Servers: 192.168.16.2
192.168.16.2
Primary WINS Server: 192.168.16.2
Secondary WINS Server: 192.168.16.2

You can probably ping machines on the remote network. I think you have some
other problem. Maybe a firewall issue.

I can ping various machines including server by can't do much else. Trying
to accessing server file system by typing \\192.168.16.2\ in windows
explorer gives 'Windows can not find 192.168.16.2'. ts client says the
server may be too busy.
