RE: what's with VPN trashing my network printer?

["Carl Galgano" <cgalgano2@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Jerry:
Sorry so late to respond to this, not sure if you have a solution or
not.
I connect to several clients via VPN, but all via my VPN connects go
over a T1.  I use W2000 and in the properties of the VPN connection
setup under the Networking tab, click on TCP/IP properties, then click
on Advanced and under the General Tab, there is a check box for Use
default gateway on the remote network.  I have to be sure that this is
unchecked, otherwise my PC can not see anything on my local network
while I am connected via VPN.

I see you use W98SE and I do have s W98SE PC close by to check to see if
this functionality is in W98SE.  I suspect not, but it might be worth a
try.

HTH.

Subject: what's with VPN trashing my network printer?


I use MS DUN with the VPN adapter (PPTP) to establish my VPN tunnel to
an iDSL router so I can then start a display and printer session to an
AS400. If I then use MS Word or whatever PC software and try to print to
a network printer it can't find the network printer.  I'm on Win98SE.

Seems to be ditto with Windows Explorer?

Am I just on a different and mutually exclusive network?

TIA,


Jerry
