Trying to use a PPTP vpn on a SBS 2003 using ISA 2000. I can vpn in. I
can \\SBSservername and see shares. I can \\oracleserver and see
shares. I cannot ping the SBS or Oracle. I cannot connect to the
Oracle database. Support says I need to be able to ping first.

I make a pptp vpn to my office running SBS 2003 and ISA 2004 and I can
ping the server. So the question is this. What click do I need to do
at the customer office that will allow ping to the servers? ISA 2000
is a lot less restrictive than ISA 2004.

XP Pro clients but that should not be relevant.
