Hi I also had a problem with DNS, and I also wanted to route all external traffic out through the normalt ISP gateway (know that security could be an issue here) and not througt my VPN.
After creating the VPN I removed the "default gateway" on the PPTP interface, and typed in my internal DNS server IP in the primary DNS on the ISP interface, and typed in the ISP DNS IP in the second. So when I connect to the VPN/PPTP my internal DNS will answer, and all traffice witch don't belong to the PPTP subnet will go out through the normal ISP. Hope it helps Felix > -----Original Message----- > From: John Stokes [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: 13. juni 2002 00:29 > To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED] ' > Subject: [gb-users] PPTP tunneling (again) > > > [I know there has been a number of postings to this list > about setting up > PPTP but I can't find any messages that explain this one setting well. > Perhaps the detailed answers were sent directly to the > originator and not > the list.
