120089 2003-02-10 20:45:00 Hi,

I'm using vpn on my XP Pro pc, but when I'm connected, I can't use the Internet, getting the old favourite "page cannot be found". I was told by someone that there's a setting somewhere to fix this, but he couldn't remember what it was.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks,
Michael Carroll

I would not suggest this however, as if you computer is compromised by someone on the internet they can connect to it while you are connected to your private (work?) network, giving them access.

Thanks again.

Cheers, Michael.
