In the office I'm connected to a network that contains a default gateway to
the rest of a internal Network (that contains other services like mail, internal portal, etc.). But, like me, several other collegues have a VPN to access de Internet (outside network). The problem is, with Windows XP it allows us to have 2 default gateways, allowing us to reach the Internet without any trouble. But with Vista the following problem ocurs: - The connections dialog states our VPN connection has not available with the message "This connection requires an active Internet connection" - After manually starting the conection in "Control Panel-Network Connections", it states as "limited connection" and does not allow us to reach the Internet. After awile, it drops the connections. The workaround so far, as been: 1. Opening an Administrative privileged console 2. Deleting the default gateways (route delete 0.0.0.0). 2. Adding routes of internal networks to our internal gateway (route add x.x.x.x mask x.x.x.x [internet GW IP]) by hand or script/batch. 3. Starting the VPN connections. Is there a simpler solution?
