hi every body
first thanks for every body posted here and special thanks to chev65
anyway the problem solved partially using Nat-settings NOT ics but anyway thanks chev65 for bringing that on as if you didn't i wouldn't go that far
why i said partially because now my Internet go through the VPN not through my router which is a little bit annoying but at least i will have internet while i am connected to the vpn why annoying is because the vpn as every body know is slower than your actual router , again thanks everybody for helping me and if there is any more suggestions to direct the internet in my laptop not to go through the vpn to go through the router i will appreciate that ,
if anybody reading this and want me to help him by telling him what i did please post here and i will try to take pictures and post here .
now for the expert what shell i do shell i keep the post opened or shell i close it and open another one for directing the internet from your vpn to your actual router (which is-not the server router )

thanks every body and special thanks for chev65

Your welcome for the help andreauk.

I always assumed that the connection was coming through the VPN which requires ICS to be enabled. I didn't know it was possible to obtain a connection directly to the internet when connected to the VPN.

Maybe you can post the NAT settings location because I'm not sure where this is, maybe you are referring to static IP's for the ICS connection but not sure.

I believe they are just ending support and updates for Windows server 03 but it will still work fine.
