I have a router linksys WRT54G
Without it I can connect to my office server using a vpn connection, and to map the server drive
When I am through the router when I connect to the wan miniport (PPTP) Called OFFICE my internet connection is down on my pc. on properties shows that I am connected to the server but i can not browse the internet. Also when I want to map the drive i can not do that.
It says the network path \\192.168.1.77\officespace$ can not be found
My router ip is 192.168.1.1.
when i disconect from officevpn i have internet.
when i connect to office not through router everything works.
Any Ideas?
Thanks
 
Have you set the Preferred DNS in Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties to the IP address of your ISP?

And have you set the Default Gateway to the IP Address of your Router?

I have fixed it. The internal IP of the router was the same with the internal IP of the server. I have changed the internal IP of the router and everything works fine. Thanks all for your input
