[VPN] Neophite question

[Trevillion, Alan]

This sounds like a mixture of issues, but I suspect the you loose Internet
connectivity because you may be Tunnelling all traffic. Once you are in the
Private LAN at your office it cannot find a Route back out. Share connection
relies on WINS Servers so you may have to allow Tunnelling of Default
Gateways and WINS Servers once connected. I suspect you have to export these
parameters once you are connected.

To anyone willing to help!
 
I used to be able to use access my office computer network from home through
my ISP.  As I am sure you all know, the worms from earlier this year caused
many ISPs to block certain ports that now make access the old way
impossible.  So, I tried to set up a VPN access point.
 
After allowing IPSec and PPTP pass through on my home router, I am now able
to connect to my office desktop from home through VPN.  The problem is, once
I make this connection, my ability to get to the internet is destroyed.  I
can no longer surf the web, send emails, etc.  Although I can ping my office
machine, I can not get to any of my shares and I can not ping any other
machines at work.
 
I am running Windows 2000 on both machines.
 
I do not even know what other information would help to diagnose this
problem.  If you could please point me in the right direction, I would
really appreciate it.
 
Kindly,
 
Brian
