More information ... I'm first creating a wireless connection to the internet. I then create a VPN connection to my intranet. The subnet mask and gateway on my VPN connection are 255.255.255.255 and 0.0.0.0. Normally, for a computer that is connected to my intranet those would be 255.255.254.0 and 169.237.2.254. The IP address is in the proper range for a computer on my intranet. Shouldn't the subnet mask and gateway on my VPN connection be the same as if I was connected to the intranet? I don't see a way of changing this on the VPN server.
Another thing - ipconfig lists the IP address of both my VPN and wireless connections as (Preferred). Shouldn't only one of them be preferred? Note: on the general tab of the TCP/IP settings, Use default gateway on remote network is checked. I've returned the interface metrics to Automatic since manually putting in values didn't seem to improve anything. Thanks for any help you can provide.
