I'm not a network expert (but I play one on TV). I've understood it that once the VPN connection is active you are on the corporate network. Outgoing Internet access plays by the same rules as if you were on site so if you had a proxy you would need to have that configured on your home PC for it to work. If there are other network login functions such as Novell you might have to jump through those hoops as well. The last time that I checked, when I took my work laptop home, connected it to my home network, and VPNed into work via my broadband connection my Internet browsing still worked.

Also, if you ever had Secure Remote on your PC, make sure that you COMPLETELY uninstall it before you try to install Cisco. Those two products don't play nice on the same machine. Now I've got a Cisco machine and a Secure Remote machine.

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, db -- This is the PC Technical Discussion for iSeries Users (PcTech) mailing list To post a message email: PcTech@xxxxxxxxxxxx To subscribe, unsubscribe, or change list options, visit: http://lists.midrange.com/mailman/listinfo/pctech or email: PcTech-request@xxxxxxxxxxxx Before posting, please take a moment to review the archives at http://archive.midrange.com/pctech. -- This is the PC Technical Discussion for iSeries Users (PcTech) mailing list To post a message email: PcTech@xxxxxxxxxxxx To subscribe, unsubscribe, or change list options, visit: http://lists.midrange.com/mailman/listinfo/pctech or email: PcTech-request@xxxxxxxxxxxx Before posting, please take a moment to review the archives at http://archive.midrange.com/pctech.
