[vpn] will split tunneling do the trick?

[Dave]

Hi Alex,

The remote users need to;
Open the TCP/IP advanced properties for the VPN
connection and uncheck the little box that says "use
default gateway at remote end."

This will give them a split tunnel where only traffic for
the VPN network will flow through the tunnel, and the
rest will go out your normal gateway.

The vender is...... not very informed?

We have a VPN in place managed by the vendor. It's pretty much all CISCO
gear with the 2600 router in the Home Office. When our remote users launch
up the IPSec client and authenticate to the services (create the tunnel), it
pretty much locks them out of using the Inet.  We need to have the users
interoperate between creating the tunnel and surfing the Inet from the same
desktop. Our vendor claims it's not possible with the current setup.

Does anybody have any suggestions on how this could be accomplished?

Thanks.
