I am trying to configure my dual nic pc and have run into a wall. I would like use 1 nic for internet surfing and 1 nic to be configured to run VPN securly to my work place. I use a cable modem hooked into a 4 port wireless router. Both nics then run into this router and on to the net. I am able to have my pc vpn'd into my workplace and using a laptop and wireless nic, connect and surf the net. Is this possible to both surf the net and use vpn at the same time on the same pc??
