I am having some problems with a VPN issue, here is the setup, I am running remote offices, Have servers at my location, Called location 1, Running Server 2003, all remote computers running XP Pro, I have my employees establish a VPN Connection to our servers, can see all the connections in RAS on my server. They establish this connection in order to get their exchange emails and to access shared folders on the servers where all our business data is stored.
The problem lies in the fact that it seems that once they establish the VPN, their computers use that link to conduct all internet related business, the VPN link becomes the primary link to the outside world for them, so in essence when they want to go to the internet, the requests go thru the VPN tunnel into my servers then out to the internet, then back into my servers then back to my employee.
I have validated this by sending my employees to www.ipchicken.com and all the remote locations are reporting the IP address from Location 1, not their individual locations.
I want or need to see if there is a configuration setting that makes them utilize their local internet connection for internet, VOIP and IM and only routes requests for exchange data and local server data thru the vpn tunnel. I suspect I need to tinker with DNS at the remote computers but am not sure.
Thank you in advance.
