Unable to browse local network after connecting to Cisco VPN on Win2K server

[Mike Matheny]

My brother has Win2K Pro installed on his work laptop, which he brings home
for work. Problem is, when he sets up a VPN connection (the VPN solution is
Cisco) he can no longer see any resources on his home network. The work and
home network use different IP schemes, and I have tried adding a route for
the 192.168.1.0 to stay local, but it doesn't work. As soon as he
disconnects, the local resources are available again. Strange thing is, on
my local network, when I connect to a MS VPN Win2K server at my work from XP
Pro (which also has different IP schemes), I can see all the local resources
just fine! Is it a Cisco thing?

Thanx,

Maybe a default gateway setting thing?

What should the default gateway be - the router or the NIC in his laptop?
