You should see a General<br /> tab. In this tab there&#039;s an option that is probably selected, labeled <br /> &quot;Use default gateway on remote host&quot;. <br /> Uncheck this box.<br /> Now you should be able to make a connection to the VPN and browse the<br /> Internet at the same time.<br /> <br /> =====What&#039;s going on here=====<br /> What happens when you use the MS VPN connectoid is that it adds a second <br /> interface to your machine. At this time it also adds a second default gateway,<br /> and changes the routing metric on your first gateway to 2. This means any<br /> traffic not destined for your local area network will be sent over the VPN<br /> interface. This is unlikely to be routed by your corporate VPN network. <br /> <br /> What we&#039;ve done with this fix is to tell the VPN adaptor not to add this bogus<br /> default route. It has already added a route to the corporate IP space through<br /> your VPN interface so not adding the default router won&#039;t break the corporate<br /> VPN connection.</div>
