VPN Clients can't browse the internet. 1

[R00K]

As soon as clients connect to the server via ip based vpn, they are cut off from outside internet access (ie. msn messenger, email, internet browsing). What do I have to do to fix this?

The server is behind a router(ports configured for vpn), runs MS Server 2003...all clients have xp pro.

Thanks,

David

Can't access the Internet while using VPN

Symptom: after establishing a VPN connection, you may not be able to access the Internet because the VPN takes over your existing connection and all traffic to use the VPN default gateway on the remote network. The remote network may not allow VPN clients to access the Internet via their gateway.

Resolutions:
1) If you don't need to access the entire VPN resources, disable the "use default gateway on remote network" option in the properties of the VPN connection. To do that, go to VPN Connection->Properties->Network->TCP/IP->Properties->Advanced-, uncheck "Use default gateway on Remote Network".
2) Edit route table manually if you know how to or check routing page on this web site.
