VPN Question
Hi,
I connect to our office through my Vista Business laptop and ISA 2004 at the office. When I do, if I want to go out to the Internet, I go through the VPN connection which takes me into our office network and out to the Internet. This obviously slows things down. How can I go out to the Internet without going through the VPN connection? -- Thanks, Sam

VPN Question
Al,
Thank you for your response. I am using the built-in PPTP VPN client. My question is how do I tell IE not to use the default gateway? If I uncheck "Do not use default gateway", would that not affect all my applications i.e. Outlook, IE and others. I'd like everything to use the VPN connection so that I can connect to things that are in the corporate network. I want only the IE NOT to use the VPN connection. How can I set this up? Again, thanks for your response. -- Thanks, Sam "Sooner Al [MVP]" wrote: "Sam" wrote in message ... Hi, I connect to our office through my Vista Business laptop and ISA 2004 at the office.

VPN Question
If you disable the "Use default network gateway", you will still have
access to the network resources behind the VPN - even internal websites, Outlook, etc. It isn't safe, per se, because you are able to bypass any protections your office network admin provides and you can provide a conduit to otherwise infect or damage the internal network with your "unprotected" computer.
