[Question] Simple VPN Question

[thedead]

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!!

i believe that this belongs to networking section but,

can you give us your routing table information? (netstat -nr)

He he!

You need to remove the checkbox that specifies that you want to use the VPN as primary gateway

druiddk is right. The option is in Advanced section of TCP/IP properties of the client vpn connection.
