No internet access while using my VPN connection


Hello everyone,

The computer I am using, is on a university network, with connection to
the internet; I want to have access to my home computer through a VPN.
So i have setted up a VPN server at my home runnig with windows vista,
and I connect to it from the university network using my computer which
is also running under windows vista.
The problem is that when I connect to the vpn the internet connection
with my university doesn't work anymore, althgough the vpn is.
Here is what I get under my network and sharing center:

Can't I have internet and VPN access at the same time?

Thanks for helping.

Re: No internet access while using my VPN connection

That is the split tunnel issue. See this article for an explanation and how
to enable the split tunnel on your PPTP VPN connection. By the way with the
split tunnel disabled (ie. the default) all of your internet traffic will go
through your home Vista PPTP VPN server. You may need to enable TCP/IP
forwarding however. See the second article for help with that.

Thanks a lot Sooner Al, it works flawlessly, I knew I was missing
something.

Cheers.

PS: for those who are wondering what is the solution, here it is, from
microsoft support site.
