I have a small network at home with 2 laptops and a desktop. These are connected with a Linksys BEFW11S4 Wireless router/4 port switch. The desktop is connected to the internet via a USB Fujitsu ADSL modem and the other machines access the Internet via the Linksys -> Desktop -> Fujitsu Modem -> ADSL -> Service Provider. Most of the time the laptops are directly connected to the Linksys, but sometimes via a wireless PCMCIA card.
It all works fine except when I try to connect my laptop to my work VPN using a the provided Contivity client V04_15.14.
As a workaround, if I plug the Fujitsu modem in to my laptop directly and connect to my service provider from my laptop then use the Contivity Client to connect to the work VPN its connects fine, but then the other machines on my home network loose their Internet access.
I have tried turning off the standard XP firewall on my PC to ensure it isnt the firewall so I can only presume its something to do with the routing on XP? Can anyone help?
TIA
