Re: [PCTECH] VPN questions

That's been my experience with every one of the over a dozen clients I 
connect to. 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.

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,
