Here is the situation that Ineed to solve. I have a computer with 2 Network Card on a Windows XP SP1a system. In order to test a potential software solution, I need to be able to connect to the internet and establish a VPN connection at the same time. With 1 NIC, my internet traffic is blocked as soon as I establish the VPN connection. So with 2 NIC's - I want to be able to direct the VPN through NIC #1 and the internet traffic through NIC #2. I have gone through the various wizards and settings, and cannot seem to hit the right setup. Anyone here have any ideas about getting this to work? ls_dragons
