| 811733 | 2009-09-19 01:58:00 | My internet gets really slow and pages sometimes don't load whenever I'm connected to my work's VPN. if I disconnect from the VPN everything works as normal. Any suggestions what might be causing this, and how to fix it so my internet works just as well connected to VPN as disconnected? Thanks, Mike. |

| 811735 | 2009-09-19 02:06:00 | You're most likely routing your entire internet connection through the VPN, which means you're limited to whatever performance work sees fit to give you, and the size of work's upload pipe. You need to set the option to *not* route all traffic via the VPN, and your performance should return to normal. Another possibility (although far less likely) is that work is pushing a DNS server to you, and that server has crap performance. |

| 811737 | 2009-09-19 03:06:00 | This is how you do it in XP, may not be quite the same in Vista??? Edit your VPN connection and go to the Networking tab and double-click Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) then click Advanced and UN-check the box there that says 'Use default gateway on remote network'. |

| 811739 | 2009-09-19 03:56:00 | Can you open a command prompt window, type "route print" and hit enter. Then copy/paste the results here. | somebody (208) | ||
| 811740 | 2009-09-19 03:58:00 | Judging by the above, am I correct in assuming you're using XP's built-in PPTP client? Any chance you could post your system routing table both while connected and disconnected from the VPN? The output from 'ipconfig -all' in both cases would also be useful. Edit: looks like Somebody beat me to it with the route information request :p. |

| 811742 | 2009-09-23 06:51:00 | check that your work is OK with you doing this, you potentially open your work network up to security threats by split tunneling or split routing like you're doing here. Cheers Nathan |
