Once I connect to exchange over my VPN I lose access to the web?

Hi

When I connect over a VPN (PPTP setup using standard internet connect)
my corporate connection to my exchange server works fine, but I lose
all access to the internet. So I can use Entourage fine, but safari
comes up blank on all sites.

On my windows VPN setup I merely untick "Use Default Gateway" on the
TCP/IP properties of my VPN to sort this problem out - is there an
equivalent on the Mac somewhere - there's no way I can change any
settings on the Exchange Server.....

Regards

Click to expand...

Change the ordering of the network interfaces in System Preferences>Network,
Show: Network Port Configurations. I read recently that you have to set the
netmask on your VPN connection properly as well, so that's something to
check.

You might want to ask again in a newsgroup that is more focussed on Mac VPNs
and networking :)

Cheers,
