Re: [PCTECH] VPN questions

[daparnin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

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.

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.

        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,
