VPN / PPTP Connection

[Animatrix1]

I am trying to setup the Microsoft VPN client to connect
to our corporate network. I am successful at connecting,
but it appears that I have a split-tunneling problem. As
soon as the VPN client connects, it creates a new route
telling all traffic to go to the vpn connection.
Naturally this will prevent our home users from connecting
to the internet while they are connected to the corporate
network.

Besides writing a batch file, does anyone know of a way to
prevent this?

Oh yes, and to make it more challenging - the ip address
of the VPN connection is a dhcp delivered address, so
there is no guarantee that it will be the same the next
time they connect... This is why a batch file solution
won't work for us...

Thanks in advance for your suggestions!

depending on the router or firewall you have, for example, you can setup
split-tunnel on Cisco pix. otherwise, you need to change the routing table.
