Re: Connect to Multiple Networks (Simultaneously) From Same Computer

Hello Charles,

Maybe you can try to add a static route to the broadband gateway for the network you are trying to reach. But i think you will not be able to connect to 2 different networks simultaneously, so waht is the reason for this kind of configuration?

Best regards

Hi Meinolf

Thanks for the reply. I haven't tried RDP except over the dial-up
connection. What I have tried is pinging my remote network IP when
dial-up is connected and I get an instant reply from the secure
network (over dial-up) saying that the host is unreachable.

It seems that all traffic is sent down the dial-up path, whether it
can be reached that way or not.

What I think it needs is something to route only private network
traffic down the dial-up path and everything else through my local
gateway, but I can't see where I might set that.

Hello Charles,

Did you try with Remote Desktop over the broadband connection?

I'm not sure if this the right place, so please redirect me if there
is a better place (I looked but none was obvious).

I have a laptop that uses a dial-up connection to a secure network
(the only route in). I also want to be able to connect to another
remote network from the laptop, at the same time, via broadband.

So far, all attempts have failed. If I hang-up the dial-up
connection, I can see the internet, but once the dial-up is
connected all I can see from the laptop is my local network (and the
remote secure network, of course).

The laptop has a wireless connection to my local network, and when I
look at the properties there is a place to enter "Alternate
Configuration", but I can't get that to make any difference.

Please can anyone suggest how I might do this?

TIA

Charles
