VPN Troubles

Here is my scenario:

2 Vista Machines, both on different home networks.
Windows 2003 Server in office as VPN server

I can connect just fine from both machines to the VPN. Authentication goes
smoothly, etc. No problems connecting. Appears to work fine. I am assigned
the correct IP address and DNS servers.

I cannot, however, access anything on the work network. It's almost as if
i'm not really connected. I still can access the internet and my home
networks. But nothing on the work network.

If i modify the VPN properties and check the "Use default gateway on remote
network" and reconnect, i can suddenly access everything on my work network.
However, this means ALL of my internet traffic is going through the VPN,
which is not good.

One day, i was able to actually connect without the default gateway checkbox
and have it work properly. THe next day it stopped working. It almost seems
random.

I have another machine (XP) on one of my home networks and it connects just
fine. That's why i'm posting this in a Vista forum.

Thanks for any help you can share with me.
