Nortel Client to allow local access

[thelevin8r]

I am at a remote site to my corporate network, and we use the Nortel VPN client for access. I also need to access resources on the local network at the remote site I am at. How I have been doing this is in a real round about manner, using VMWare. I VPN to my corporate network in my host machine, then open a virtual machine that is also on the same VPN via NAT. Within the client machine I then make a second VPN back to the local network I am on. Pretty crazy and slow, but the only way I can do this as the Nortel client blocks access to the local network. I recently learned that the Cisco client lets you enable that feature, so I started looking around in the config files for the Nortel client, the most promising one is “baynet.tbk”. I thought that there might be an entry I can add like “AllowLocalAccess=1”, get my drift? Anyone know of some kind of work around or setting that might allow this?

The split tunneling feature needs to be enabled on the Nortel server for your connection, so that you can VPN access to corporate network and at the same time to have local network access. Check with your admin on this feature and see whether it can be enabled.
