Howdy,

Hmm, I'm not liking Leopard at the moment.. few problems that where never in Tiger, and one especially is very annoying, and hoping someone might know of a fix?

In tiger, when I setup my VPN I would ensure the "Send all traffic over the VPN connection" option was not checked, therefore I could use my own internet connection for the web, and just use VPN for what I need it to.

Well regardless of this option being on or not in Leopard, I cannot connect to the internet when my vpn connection is up? Is this just me, or anyone else have this? As soon as I disconnect from the vpn connection, voila, my internet connection is back up!

I'm sure this is a Leopard bug, but anyone know of a way around it? Or if it will be fixed in 10.5.2?

Any help will be appreciated!
 
hi, sorry but i don't have the answer to your question...

however you might be able to help me with a problem i'm having, how do you actually set up a vpn in leopard? i can't find the setting for it any where! :(

any help would be great thanks :)
 
Sure, Its under System Preferences > Network, click the little + at the bottom left and you can select VPN here, then you create your vpn connection like before.

They have merged all netwroking stuff in the network area now, which makes more sense!

Click to expand...

Can you connect to the internet? Or do you connect to the internet through your VPN? If you do then it may work, otherwise I bet you can't access the web... if you can its will be VERRRRRY slow!

Let me know, cos then you have the same problem I have :)
 
@keogh, i can to the internet on my MBP, and then connect to the VPN, seemed to be working fine, internet speeds ok, however my connection dropped after about 15minutes, and i can not connect again :s

not sure why, hope you manage to fix your problem, if you do, let us know how :)

cheers
