Re: [PCTECH] VPN questions

I use VPN regularly and never have trouble with e-mail and web use.  The use
of the network at work is determined by your network administrator.

Subject: [PCTECH] VPN questions
 
Esteemed listers,
 
I am going to be taking home the iSeries Access and Cisco VPN Client install
CD-ROMs so that I can connect to our iSeries from home.
 
I am told that, once I activate a VPN connection, I lose my ability to surf
the internet at large from my ISP.  (I am told that I will only be able to
access the iSeries; the rest of the network will be unavailable via remote
access.)
 
Is this the nature of VPN?
 
FWIW, my connection is via cable modem, and I am using a GigaFast router.
 
>From the manual: This router supports only PPtP Packet Pass-Through.
Neither L2tP (Layer 2 Tunnel Protocol) nor IPSEC (Internet Protocol
Security) are supported.  The router itself does not have a VPN function.
It allows PPtP Packet Pass-Through.
 
tia,
