Default Anyone familiar with VPN answer some newbie q's?

I have a simple home net using mostly windows vista and 7 computers, some printers, external hd servers for backup storage and cameras in a workgroup static ip setup behind an off the shelf router. i set one of the computers as the vpn server since i dont want to buy a dedicated hardware vpn in a vista ultimate machine thats on 24/7 anyway with an incomming server... with the correct ports forwarded from the router to the vpn host.

my remote vpn laptop connects to the vpn fine and can see the network resources, however, has no internet connection once the vpn is connected. do i have to set the host vpn computer to do some sort of its own dns assignments to the incomming connection?

in other words, on my remote laptop, i can connect to a random wireless internet hotspot and have full internet access. I can then enable vpn and log in to my home network and see all the network resources, however if i try to use an internet browser, there appears to be no internet. if i disconnect the vpn, the internet resumes to work fine and obviously the vpn resources are no longer accessable.

what am i missing? under incomming connection properties general tab, "allow others to make private..." is checked, under users the correct user is selected along with "require all users to secure...", and under networking ipv4 "allow callers to access..." is checked, and assign ip auto using dhcp is checked so I would think it should be working fine at this point, however it doesn list anywhere a gateway or dns to assine to incomming connections, only ip's.

host vpn computer is vista ultimate with static ip behind a retail router also assigned a static ip via my home isp.

the remote laptop is running ubuntu 12. just for kicks and to rule out ubuntu causing some problem, i set my android phone up for vpn use via 4g network, and the same thing happens. connects vpn fine, has local resources, but loses internet.

Not sure what software you're using, but do you see any options for split tunnel?
