Unable to Access Email with VPN Sssion running

Hi guys,

OK I have the exhcnage server, the SQL servers, and the VPN Server all behind the firewall, and they are all in one location. I can check my email from anywhere with no problems, but when I start a VPN Session to the VPN Server (Windows 2000) for whatever reason I cannot check my email. when I go to our website and click on logon to email, it takes sometime and then times out to (The page cannot be displayed). as soon as I disconnect the VPN everything works just normal.

can someone help out please?

thanks in adavanced

Go to the properties page of the VPN conection
Networking Tab
Properties of TCP-IP
Advanced
Uncheck 'use default gateway on remote network'

That should fix your web browsing problem and maby even your email..

You are connection to the Exchange Server by its internal (LAN) address through the VPN aren't you?

that's no it.

I am connecting to the exchange over OWA, and it uses the pub address. I also have to use the gateway on remote computer network to be able to access some resource over there.

zaneyfunster,

Thank you so much for taking trying to help me out.

Ok I have the exchange server, and all of other server in a network that has IP Address i this range: 192.168.50.X, and when I connect with the VPN of course I get an IP Address i this range.
I am really not trying to fix this problem for my self, but for the President of the company who likes to always stay connect with the VPN while browsing the web and accessing his email over OWA.

The server that runs the VPN has two interfaces, one with IP Address of 192.168.50.16, and the other interface has IP Address of 10.0.0.16. The 10.0.0.16 IP Address is not being used in the network any more, so do you think that has anything to do with the problem.

Thanks man

What is the resource you need to connect to via the remote gateway?
I need to connect to all machines in remote offices, and without the remote gateway I am not able to go any further than the network witht he VPN Server is located.
