VPN connection and web browsing

Hi
I have a work VPN connection which i need to have connected most of the
time. When it is connected i have trouble browsing the web because all
the requests go over the VPN connection. I also lose my MSN messenger
connection, I was wondering if there was a way to set it up so that all
requests bound for servers not on the works network are routed straight
out over the internet. I run Windows XP pro and have a linksys
broadband router, my company IP scheme is 194.62.153/154.* and my home
network scheme is the arbitary 192.168.1.*

Any help would be a ppreciated even a sugestion of a windows technology
to investigate.

thanks in advance

Hi David,

The issue you are having is described in the article below:

You Cannot Connect to the Internet After You Connect to a VPN Server

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/317025

All you have to do is disable the Use Default Gateway on Remote Network
setting in the VPN dial-up connection item on your computer (Step 2 in the
article).

Regards,
