RE: VPN

["Westdorp, Tom" <Tom.Westdorp@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I think under WinXP Pro (my desktop OS) you get just one IP per system.
When I used dial up to a RAS server through a serial port to an external
modem it killed my ability to access the net through the cable modem until I
ended the dial up session.  I could be wrong and have a spare NIC laying
around, I'll talk to our network geeks and try it if it's a possibility.

I have the same issue. Our network techs suggested that I add a second 
interface (ethernet card) to the PC, just for VPN. I haven't gotten around 
to trying it yet though.
