Cannot access remote network via SSTP from Vista Client
Environment
Windows Server running RRAS configured for SSTP w/ correct static routes to non-connected networks (i.e. a network that is not on the same subnet as my SSTP server's backend network adapter).
Issue
From a Windows Vista SP1 client, I am not able to access non-connected networks (ping, http, etc.).
THIS IS NOT AN ISSUE FROM A WINDOWS 7 CLIENT. A ping request for a remote subnet IP on the internal network appears to be sent out my client network adapter's default gateway (i.e. to the internet). Enabling "use default gw on remote
network" "fixes" the issue, but this is highly undesirable due to the fact that this will cause all internet bound traffic to traverse the vpn network and cause congestion.
Any thoughts? Again, this is working for all Windows 7 clients w/o enabling the "use default gw..." setting. Is this a Vista bug? Thanks in advance!

Hi ChrisC7,
Thanks for posting here.

So have you set entries for reaching remote internal subnets in route table on Windows Vista clients? Please compare the route entries on Windows Vista with Windows
7’s.
Try to modify the interface binding order on Windows vista client to make remote connection top of the list and see if any improvement , you can also follow the methods
in the KB article below to modify the registry entry to do the same thing, this workaround will also apply to Windows Vista :
