Surf via VPN

[kreno]

Hi

I have Win XP and can establish a VPN connection between my home and office PC via the internet but i am unable to surf the net via the vpn connection. I know about disabling the default route in settings but this just bypasses the VPN and access's the internet directly. I want it to actualy surf via the VPN.
On my server PC i have NAT running on 192.168.0.1 but i cant seem to get my client PC to go through it.
PS: I can Ping both PC's via the VPN connection.

Thanx
Jason

Can't access the Internet while using VPN
Symptom: after establishing a VPN connection, you may not be able to access the Internet because the VPN takes over your existing connection and all traffic to use the VPN default gateway on the remote network. The remote network may not allow VPN clients to access the Internet via their gateway.
Resolutions:
1) If you don't need to access the entire VPN resources, disable the "use default gateway on remote network" option in the properties of the VPN connection. To do that, go to VPN Connection->Properties->Network->TCP/IP->Properties->Advanced-, uncheck "Use default gateway on Remote Network".
2) Edit route table manually if you know how to or check routing page on this web site.
3) For the security reason, some firewall/routers like Cisco PIX do not allow access the Internet after establishing the VPN and you cannot modify the routing table. You may setup split-tunnel.

Hi

As i said before i am using XP's software to create a vpn connection over a usb modem. It works. I have seen it done before where you can access the internet over the VPN, through the VPN. Im not using any routers only modems. I thought of using NAT. I dont want to acces the internet directly by disabling the default route in TCP/IP.

Thanx

Why not use a proxy server on the LAN?
