Vista w/ICS and VPN w/one nic and no internet access

Hi all,

I am VPN'ing into a vista workstation(host) through the internet with
a vista client and I connect just fine. I have private ip's setup for
the VPN connection 192.168.17.xxx and the actual one nic interface has
a public IP 68.86.xxx.xxx. I have enabled ICS on the Vista Host and I
want the Vista client to be able to surf the web using the host as a
proxy.

the problem is that ICS does not appear to route or nat the traffic
out to the internet and any traffic that tries to go beyond the Vista
host fails.

I have setup a bogus loopback adapter on the host to simulate two nics
but I am not sure how to resolve the problem as I have read that ICS
does not work without 2 nics. Does anyone have any suggestions?? I
cannot find anything on google to address this issue in Vista, Thank
you.

I have the same idea. I wish to use the VPN too as a proxy, especially to
watch ABC shows while I am away from the US.
I also successfully implemented a VPN server on Vista. But the internet
traffic is not routing to the VPN. The post by you Mick does not explain
anything on how to do that.
Please someone take the time to explain what I am looking for in that post.
I have read it 3 times and see nothing that could help me figure it out.
Best regards,
Randy.
