I think Fernando already answered well, but I just want to second this. This is definatly a config on the client. I dealt with this a few years ago and we had to spend quite a few hours researching to figure out what to change to fix it, but there was just one option hidden deep in a cascade of dialog boxes that basically told the machine that it should only use the VPN for traffic that needed the VPN. Everything worked fine after that. The default is set to "broken" (figures). Sorry I don't remember the exact config setting :( -- Bill Moran Potential Technologies http://www.potentialtech.com
