Hi there,

I have configered a VPN over an dial up connection to my ISP (via infrared / Nokia 6210 / iPAQ 2210). I'm able to ping my private network with vxUtil (http://www.cam.com/vxutil.html). But as soon as I start using Inter Explorer, Inbox or Terminal Server Client the VPN connection drops immediatly. It doesn't matter where I point these applications to. Just using them is enough to kill the VPN connection. Any ideas on what's causing this?

Thanks in advance.

Extra info:

It also 'works' the other way around: Inbox will disconnected as soon as the VPN starts connecting (same for Internet Explorer).

Consider this a bump and a bit more info. I'm having the same problem it’s my understanding that any time PPC2002 sees a dot in a host name it kicks out of the VPN connection. Apparently the VPN client was only meant to connect to boxes that do not have a dot in their name. Is this correct guys?
