The key to the problem is in the route table. Please post a news
group reply with a copy of the route table made when both NICs are
enabled simultaneously. To write the route table to a file, enter
this line at the command prompt:

   route print >route.txt

Then, copy and paste the file.

What exactly happens when the try to VPN? What exactly happens when
the try to access the LAN? What is the complete text of the error
messages?
