Strange netwok issue...
Afterconnected to the internetfor sometime, I'm not able to access to the internet evethough the system show that it is still connected. The strange thing is my VPN is still connect but I just could not acccess to the Internet unless I do a restart. I have disable the power mgmt on the Network adapter but that doesn't seems to help.Have anyone come across such issue? Pls advise.Thank you.

Hi, From what I understand, you are connected to a VPN and then when you try to go online using the computer, you cannot go out. Do you have a static route set up so that even though you are connected to the VPN, it knows to go through your ISP and not your VPN? See if you disconnect the VPN and if you can go directly to the internet using your ISP.

I didn't create any static route as I merely create the VPN connection thru the "Network and Sharing" center. Do you mean I need to create a static route using the "route add" command? And how will the application be able to tell which connection to use for Internet access? After I disconnect from the VPN, I still cannot access internet until a reboot is done.

If you add a static route add and add a route to go directly out your ISP, it will try to go out through your VPN gateway and when it fails, it tries other static routes in your routing table and it gets through.
