Q: The VPN client receives the same IP of the VPN server

I am using MS VPN Server on an XP Pro Node that is set to use DHCP Server to assign Incoming Connection IPs.  The server does get an IP from the DHCP for the server software but when a MS VPN Client on another XP Pro box connects, it gets the same address as the server and of course that messes up the routing.  If I keep disconnecting and reconnecting, sometimes I will get a different IP and all is well. can anyone help with this?

 A: In this case, I would use Specify TCP/IP address. (Note: To use Specify TCP/IP address, open the Properties of Incoming Connection).

Reply: Yes. That works but any Idea On Why Automatic DHCP Assignment fails?  A  Linksys router is providing the DHCP Function.
