any VPN connection software i have used ...for example cisco vpn dialer... once i have the connection open, i am unable to access anything on the local LAN, the only network i can interact with has been the one at the other endpoint of the VPN.
For Cisco and other VPNs, this is configurable on the server side. Some of our customers refuse to enable LAN access for us, which makes supporting them fairly painful. We've actually had someone tell us that "Sarbanes-Oxley requires that we do this." The only security benefit I can see to disabling LAN access is that it prevents a hacked PC from being remotely controlled while VPNed in. -- Curt Hagenlocher [EMAIL PROTECTED] =================================== This list is hosted by DevelopMentor® http://www.develop.com View archives and manage your subscription(s) at http://discuss.develop.com
