Hi,
I am conecting to internet via. my Mandrake Linux 10 box. But whenever I connect to my client's VPN from my windows machine (using CISCO client) the windows machine is disconnected from the LAN immediately after the client gets connected. I have even tried this with no firwall except simple MASQUERADE rule for my 192.168.x.x series machine. But the same problem. As soon as I disconnect VPN I can get in LAN.
Can someone suggest anything? I am very very bad in VPN and firewalls.

With warm regards,
-Payal

your cisco VPN client is configured (at the VPN gateway end) not to allow "split-tunneling" and is working as designed.

contact the administrator of the VPN gateway and ask to have split-tunneling enabled so that you may access your LAN simultaneously.

How can that be? People (from this group) have been trying to remedy your deficiencies for quite some time now..

I think you should forget the firewall part of the problem and look at the VPN. It's just a problem of configuring the VPN in the right way.

The only people for me are the mad ones -- the ones who are mad to live,
mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time,
the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn
like fabulous yellow Roman candles.

Ok, but I am not able to understand why it works when I connect the machine directly to internet using modem instead of routing it through my Linux box. Also, I don't care if I can access my LAN for the while but I cannot even connect to the server inside that VPN using terminal services.
