sounds like a split tunnel issue. I believe split tunneling is turned off by
default.
if this is the case, here is the explanation:
the model for VPN is a user station connecting to a corporate network
through the internet. There is an issue with having an open internet net
connection on a remote user machine while connected via a VPN to the Corp
net. the user machine can be compromised by an internet hacker, who then has
access to corporate through the user connection.
split tunnel is the term for this situation - having an open connection to
the local internet at the same time one has a secure connection via a VPN
tunnel. Because this is considered a real security risk, most VPN client
software turns this feature off by default.
you should be able to find the required settings in the config guide, so you
can permit split tunneling.
although I gotta say, if I understand you correctly, you would be opening up
your server to compromise from the internet. why not do the VPN tunnel
through an edge device, like a router? Site to site VPN?

Subject: Cisco VPN Client [7:19858]
I have a question about the Cisco VPN Client software and how it binds its
driver to a network card.
We have an NT server that we are connecting to a remote network using the
Cisco VPN Client (to a Concentrator 3000, I believe). Upon connection
through the VPN, I lose connectivity to the other servers on the local
network. Is there a way to maintain the local area connection while
connected over VPN? I tried to multi-home the server and unbind the DNE
driver for one network card, but that just disabled the network card.
Has anyone experienced this before? Are there any workarounds? Fixes? Or
does this require a call to Cisco TAC?
Thanks.
George
