Hi -
What you're trying to do is called split tunneling -
here's a Technet article that tells you what you need to
do -

Your network is your business, but the purpose of a VPN
is to provide a secure connection to a trusted network -
and that's the reason most VPNs route all IP traffic
through the tunnel. Using a split tunnel creates a
network bridge between a trusted network and the
untrusted Internet - and makes the trusted network
vulnerable to all the nasties the Internet has to
offer ;-)
I don't normally inflict opinions on folks in this ng,
but IM frequently less than HO split tunneling defeats
almost all security measures designed to protect the
trusted network from the outside world. If you're
experimenting on your own network it might be worth the
decreased security - but if someone who worked for me did
this on a client's network I'd be firing a network
engineer ;-)
Good luck -

Here is the situation that Ineed to solve. I have a
computer with 2 Network Card on a Windows XP SP1a system.
In order to test a potential software solution, I need to
be able to connect to the internet and establish a VPN
connection at the same time. With 1 NIC, my internet
traffic is blocked as soon as I establish the VPN
connection. So with 2 NIC's - I want to be able to direct
the VPN through NIC #1 and the internet traffic through
NIC #2. I have gone through the various wizards and
settings, and cannot seem to hit the right setup. Anyone
here have any ideas about getting this to work?
