Contivity VPN & LAN???

[Phailak]

Hail,

When I work from home, I have to connect with Contivity VPN software from Nortel to retrieve emails and have access to intranet and such. Problem is, I cannot use my home LAN ressources (printer, shared folders) while connected to the VPN software. Is this a configuration on the server side at work or is there something I can change myself?

On the Contivity switch you can enable split tunneling. This will only send the necessary traffic through the tunnel allowing you to have access to your local resources.

Some one also mentioned to have made it work by using IPX/SPX protocol on their local LAN for their printers and shares instead of TCP/IP.

Hail,

So this split tunneling, it can't be enabled on my machine? As for IPX/SPX, how would I "activate" that, I have installed already I just don't know how to specify my shares/printers to use that protocol instead of TCP/IP?

Split Tunneling is enabled on the Contivity device itself. You have to create a Network under Profiles. The network that you create is the LAN subnet of the remote LAN. Once that is done click on Groups under Profiles and edit the Group that you are a part of. It is in the IPSec section. This is where it is enabled and it gives you the option to select the network that you created.

Hmmm... I don't have access to the Contivity device. I put in a request for this at IT (having access to my LAN while on the VPN) but they have yet to answer and I fear they just won't do it anyway...
