Loss of Internet Connectivity once on VPN

[restrada]

Situation:
I am setting up a VPN using Win2k AdvServ, no AD or PDC since there is a certain peice of the cleints software that for some reason the vendor is saying that it is not compatible with AD. Anyhow, VPN connection can be made successfully and authentication completes, using PPTP. I have setup a static address pool for VPN connections which is not in the same pool as the IntraNet. There is no router other than routing services in Win2k. I have full access as normal through the VPN to all network resources.

Problem:
Machine that is VPNing in loses all internet connection except for that of the VPN.

Any ideas are appreciated.

this is normal behaviour... split tunneling is not enabled by default... you must manually add a route after the VPN tunnel has been created...

the gateway IP should be another IP than your RRAS server (so if you are connecting using a router, then assign the router IP as gateway) ---------------------------------------------------------------------
I have not failed, I've just found 10,000 ways that don't work

Have you tried unchecking 'Use default gateway on remote network' under the VPN dial-up networking properties? For a W98 client, this is under the Networking tab> TCP/IP settings (at the bottom).

Leave this option checked on for the ISP connection.

Restrada,

If you are using the Pix 6.1 IOS, then use the Cisco VPN 3.5 client and you can do split tunneling. Reference the Cisco Pix Firewall Command Reference for specific config instructions.
