Hi, I have two computers running windows XP PRO behind a router. One laptop; one desktop. Now I setup my desktop using the VPN server included in windows. On my laptop I can connect to the VPN and access the local network/shared dr ives. The problem is when I connect to the VPN the internet stops working; however I can still access the file shares. I have enabled PPTP pass-through, forwarded ports 500,137,138,139,1723,1701, 50,51. Does anyone have any ides why? Thanks!! Title edited -- Please, use [TAGS] in your topic's title. --Sonic
