How do you connect thru the VPN? If each one of the PCs establishes its own
VPN connection (which is really not efficient!) then you need to check in the
VPN connection configuration and un-check "Use default gateway on remote
host..." option. This option forces all TCP/IP traffic thru the gateway on
the remote network of the VPN.


If all the PCs at your "Network" are connected to the same network then a
better configuration would be to have the VPN controls on the local gateway to
the Internet. This way, when ever you require access to the "remote" network,
you would get it while still having Internet access at the same time.
