Hello,

I have a laptop with XP Home latest updates.
And I use a vpn to connect to a remote office.
However I cannot connect unless I close outlook and IE.
Neither it seems can my collegues. I get a blue screen of death.
So I cannot use the VPN and use the internet at the same time <sigh>.
How can I investigate this adn find a solution?

TIA

What "client" are uyou using for the VPN? If you are using the Xp
built-in VPN client (PPTP) then check in the Advanced settings for TCP/
IP. Un-check "Use default gateway on remote...."
