[vpn] directing traffic

[Scott Penno]

Hi Nate,

Just want to try and get a better picture of what is occuring.  You have a
W2K machine in the office connected to a Netgear router that is connected
to the Internet with the same at home.  I take it that you only have one
Internet connection at each location and that that is the connection to
the Netgear router?  And you're using the VPN functionality of W2K or is
the Netgear router performing this functionality?  If you only have the
one Internet connection at each location, then either way I'd suspect the
VPN configuration as being the cause of your problems in that the VPN
appears to be picking up all traffic rather than just the traffic that is
destined from the office to home or vice versa.

Scott.
