|  Unable to access Internet when connected to VPN
Hi,
I use Cisco VPN 4.8 to connect to my employer. I've been using this version of the connector for a few years without any problems until recently when I was given a new laptop running WinXP professional.
I have no trouble connecting and after I'm connected I have no trouble accessing any of my employers resources including websites on the intranet but intermittently I'm unable to access the internet. If I try to access www.yahoo.com for instance, the request times out. It's strange in that the problem only occurs on certain sessions - maybe 50% of the time. Occasionally on those sessions when I'm not able to access the internet, all of the sudden after being connected for some time (2 or 3 hours) it will start working again.
I've talked to my coworkers and none of them are having any problems so I'm assuming the problem is on my end but I don't know how to troubleshoot it. I'm running Mozilla 2.0.0.12 and in its network setting dialog, I've chosen "Auto Detect Proxy Settings".
Apologies in advance for what I know is vague description but this is really driving me crazy and if anyone could point me in the right direction, I'd really appreciate it.

| The Cisco VPN client has an option to allow / disallow local LAN access when the VPN is active.
If you display the the connection properties, go to the TRANSPORT tab, at the bottom there is a check box for LOCAL LAN ACCESS. If it is not checked, you can try checking it. If it is greyed out, that is because of a group security policy that prevents enabling local LAN access. |
