Windows automatically adds a dynamic route once the PPTP connection is established, or at least it should. Basically, it sets the metric to 2 for your "old" default router, and adds in a new default route with a metric of 1 once the tunnel is established. If you are not getting the tunnel established, then you won't see this.

The only thing I can think of, is that Win98 gets confused as to where to send the packets. It only has one default gateway (the one on the network adapter for the local network). I am curious how the TCP/IP Stack knows to send items destined for the network inside the VPN lan through the virtual adapter. Do I need manual router statements on the Win98 PC? Any ideas how to make them without knowing that IP address the PPTP adapter will get? **Please support GroupStudy by purchasing from the GroupStudy Store: http://shop.groupstudy.com FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Message Posted at: http://www.groupstudy.com/form/read.php?f=7&i=74655&t=74521 -------------------------------------------------- **Please support GroupStudy by purchasing from the GroupStudy Store: http://shop.groupstudy.com FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html
