Hello, is it possible to somehow share a vpn connection to another computer/console, because i want to use my Schools internet which i connect to wirelessly. to connect a Console to play online, Is it possible to log into cisco VPN then somehow share/Bridge the connection so i can just wire the console up with a crossover to the laptop and it will work.

I know this is kind of complicated but there should be away to do it, so we can play xbox lvie at school
Thanks In Advance
 
Your post is confusing...do you want to VPN into your school, or VPN from your school to something? From where to where, and where is the XBox?

Ok The VPN Network Is At School, we want to be able to hook a laptop up to it (at school) then share the connection across to the xbox.
But whenever VPN is running al other LAN networks Seem to be disabled untill i shutdown VPN.
 
I believe that his schools wireless networking is wide open, and thus they make them vpn to authenticate thus connecting to the internet. However, you will need ports open through the schools firewall which I am sure they wont allow.
 
Nah Limewire and torrent programs work fine no ports need to be open. i i know some1 has done it and they got a moderate NAT. Once Connected
