ok here is the deal. I have a Windows 2008 R2 server with RRAS installed configured for VPN. I also have DHCP running. On my DC I have AD running and they're connected with my domain. I am only using one NIC though.
As a client I have Windows 7. So I tried connecting to my VPN server through my own network, which worked fine, so the setup is correct. However, when I tried connecting to my VPN server on another network, it does not work. I went to my brothers home and tried connecting to my server but it did not pass.
So on my VPN server I have ip: 192.168.2.99
At my brothers house, i did the configuration on his windows 7 and it cannot connect to that ip. I am operating on the 192.168.2.1 network and he is operating on the 192.168.0.1 network. So how do I configure his client in order to get it to work? I tried changing his ip to the 192.168.2.x network, but i am not sure you can do that. I need some help here what to do.

With that address nobody can reach your VPN server from the outside.
Since you're going with a single-homed approach, you'll need to setup port forwarding on the firewall in front of the VPN server to send the RRAS traffic back to that server. Then, from the outside, you'd connect to the firewall's address for VPN.
