VPN and DHCP problem

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.work_remotely (More info?)

You can provide static IP address for the client. Either at the server by
providing a pool of static IPs or by specifying the IP int eh client
connectoid. But for the latter you need to enable the option the client may
specify address at the RRAS Snap-in
