When I connect to my work server via a Cisco VPN Client (Version 4.6.03.0021), I lose my local internet connection. I searched around the forum and found one answer, but it was only for a Windows VPN connection.

Is there anyway that I can connect to the Cisco VPN server without losing my local internet connection?
 
What you are trying to do is called as Split Tunneling. I can't comment on Cisco, but some VPN clients (i.e. Nortel) can only configure this on the server side. Do you have the ability to change your local route table? (or is there an option on the VPN client?) If so then you can change it there.

Hopefully someone with more Cisco experiences can reply to this post.
 
I read about SPlit Tunneling, but unfortunately, I do not know how to do that. I can probably tell the lead developer to do it, but I just need to find out how.

Is there no easier way to do this task?
 
You have to enable it on both ends with Cisco equipment.
Its off by default, as doing so is a security risk.
I leave it off as a reminder that im running tunnel only.
