I hope someone has an Idea on how to make this work. I want to connect 3 PC's - 2 wireless and 1 hardwired to my router to the VPN Cable connection. I have a Netgear MR-814 router and my Primary PC, XP home, is connected to it directly via ethernet. I also have two laptops, 1- XP home 1- XP Pro, that are in my wireless network thru the router. I have had this working on a normal cable modem network, but the service I now have uses a VPN to connect thru the cable network allowing only one connection. Without the router I tried to turn on the ICS on the primary machine and the connection drops immediately. Any hints or suggestions?
 
Given standard proceedures for networking and security I would expect that you Network Administrator for the VPN allows for one connection to the network server per user account: this would block any other access via the link.
 
Is there any way to configure the router to connect to the VPN and share the connection with the other computers that way? Can I at least have the home network but have only one computer internet capable at a time or does the VPN lock me into only one computer on the connection?
