Can't access network resources over VPN with Server 2008

I was asked today to set up VPN access for a small office with a 2008 sp2 standard server. I have done this before on Server 2003 and it was simple, but this is the first time I've tried it on 2008. So I followed this tutorial since it seemed to be pretty simple and thorough.

Now, remote clients can log in to the server and are given an IP address in the proper DHCP scope for the office, but can't access any network resources by name or IP. They can't even ping the server by name or by IP address (it does respond to pings while on the local network). So obviously something is not configured properly for the VPN but I'm not sure what I am missing. Is the tutorial wrong and/or missing steps somewhere?

I verified that the Routing and Remote Access service is set to allowed in the server's firewall and port 1723 is forwarded from the router to the server's IP address but I don't know what else to check.
 
How many people have tried it? Some ghetto home routers do not come configured to allow PPTP VPN pass-through.
 
Three different computers at three different physical locations all have the same results when trying to log in to this VPN connection.
 
I'm not sure why that would affect this specific problem, but I enabled it just to see what would happen. It didn't have any effect.
