RE: ids connections lost to vpn

sounds like a routing change while firing up the vpn connection. Just open a DOS Box before VPN with route /print and do it after VPN. I guess two things will happen: metric on every default route in the "before VPN" will change from one to two, the VPN route will be the first (default) route with a metric of one.

I am running 11.50.TC1DE on Windows 2008 Server (64bit). Informix Connect 3.50 is also installed. This is a development box and I am the only one on it. Everything runs fine until I use the VPN to connect to a certain customer site. (It is the only customer that has a VPN that I have to use before I can ftp or RDP.) As soon as I connect to the VPN, I lose connectivity to my local databases. Dbaccess still works, but other programs (using odbc) will not connect. Windows has hijacked the entire ip stack to the VPN. ( Skype, IE, etc ). I must bounce the IDS instance to get connections back. If I later disconnect from the VPN, all connections stop working and dbaccess stops connecting. I bounce the IDS again. This is not a major issue, but if I am in the middle of something when I need to go look at the customer site, it is annoying. Is this out of my control? Is it something about this particular VPN or all VPN's that have this behavior. Is there anything I can set in the Onconfig or registry or router that will stop the local IDS traffic from being hijacked? The router is a simple WRT52G .
