Fighting the dialup side effects parahumanoid <parahumanoid[ at ]excite.com> 5/21/2007 7:39:46 PM Hi, What I have is a win2k3 server running the dns service and, from time to time, using a dial-up link to connect to a remote segment of our network (for an RDP session). Now, what happens, if I understand this right, is that whenever a dialup connection is established, it becomes the default connection (but the link is "Internetless"), so all Internet connectivity on the network dies. Can I enforce it somehow that my Internet connection remains LAN, despite the established dialup link? What should I do? Thank you.

Add the registry settings in this KB may work, I had to add it on my Demand Dial server.

Re: Fighting the dialup side effects parahumanoid <parahumanoid[ at ]excite.com> 5/22/2007 8:25:11 AM The article you mentioned is dedicated to IE. I was talking about traffic routing per se. That is, what would IE installation have to do with the fact that a regular PING stops reaching internet hosts after a dialup connection is esablished? I don't even use this browser. Or did I not understand you fully?

Or > did I not understand you fully? You are correct, I wasn't even considering this to be a routing issue, which I should have and it definitely is. However, the article you posted previously is for VPN client connections, if this is a VPN connection, the article relates to your issue. From your original post, it is not clear what type the connection is, but it really does not matter, if it gets a default gateway, it's going to be an issue. VPN connections, on the other hand, should have a way to override getting this default route. At least the built-in VPN client from Microsoft does. -- Best regards, Kevin D.

Re: Fighting the dialup side effects parahumanoid <parahumanoid[ at ]excite.com> 5/23/2007 2:15:09 PM Not the whole article is VPN related. It has a section on regular dialup connections.
