Re: VPN and LAN conflicts

Since you have two NICs enabled, make sure they are setup correctly. Or posting the result of ipconfig /all here may help.

Hi Craig!

I have the same problem on my SBS server. When I connect the laptop in the
network everything is slow, especially the outlook 2003, The only diffrence
is that I have 2 NICs in the server and I am not running ISA.

Would be really glad if you find something that you can share with me?
