Re: VPN using RASDIAL default gateway problem

Eugene,

Thanks once again.

it's very unlikely there is some kind of custom app running on my local box,
since I set this up using the normal connection setup wizard.

Here's the phone book entry with the ip masked.

If I change the network settings to use remote default gateway (or if I set
the flag and go back to network connections), I get this change:

IpPrioritizeRemote=1

If I open the connection and look at IPconfig, this causes the same remote
default gateway problem I see when using the rasdial api.

Similarly if I set the RASEO_RemoteDefaultGateway options using the api and
look back at the phone book file, the IpPrioritizeRemote flag gets set to 1.

So, it's pretty clear that this is the flag, and that it is being used by
the api call.

Reading the API documentation, it says this

RASEO_RemoteDefaultGateway:
If this flag is set, the default route for IP packets is through the dial-up
adapter when the connection is active. If this flag is clear, the default
route is not modified. This flag corresponds to the Use default gateway on
remote network check box in the TCP/IP settings dialog box.

So it still appears as if the rasdial api call is ignoring the
IpPrioritizeRemote/RASEO_RemoteDefaultGateway flag when connecting.

I would really like to sort this out!

Thanks again for your help and any further ideas.
