[vpn] directing traffic

If you are setting up a VPN connection in the Windows machine, I think the
"Use default gateway on remote network" is checked by default.. If you want
most of your traffic to continue to go outside of the VPN, you need to
uncheck this box. On Windows XP, this is in the Advanced TCP/IP settings
for the connection. I don't have Win2K but it should be fairly similar.

if you are using an IPsec tunnel, you need to enable "Split tunneling" -
this will be done on the VPN concentrator. Unfortunatley (as far as I
know) if you're using PPTP, there's no recourse..

I recently set up a small vpn connection between my office and home
computer. Other than the slow connection, I am having an interesting
problem.
I have a W2K machine in my office running behind a Netgear router. Same
setup at home. I make the connection to the home computer and all is
well.
I created a network connection to the home machine and I have a regular
connection to my ISP.
However, when I have the VPN connection open, all the traffic that used
to
go out to the ISP is trying to go via the VPN (and therefore, fails).
How can I direct traffic that is meant to go out, to not go via the VPN
channel?
Thanks
Nate
