Sounds good.  Yea, you can adjust those Exclusions as needed along the way
as long as you remeber to release/renew (or just reboot) the workstation

Good luck with it!



Thanks again Phillip,

One more question. The server has 2 NICs, one onboard and one gigabit I recently put in. I had disabled the onboard after I got the pro1000, but thought I could put it to use when setting the VPN up today. The pro1000 is 192.168.5.1 and runs to the switch. I plugged the onboard NIC (192.168.5.2) straight into the DSL router (planning on using a NAT pinholes to forward to 192.168.5.2). Both have same subnet and default gateway addresses.

Also, this way I could set up the PPTP filters correctly on the RAS settings for this interface.

But now when I browse the LAN from the server, it slows down. I set the onboard NIC to a higher metric and when accessing the internet, only the pro1000 sends and receives. But browsing slows down and the onboard NIC blinks away (on the card not the icon), though it doesn't seem to send/receive packets.

I just want to use the 10/100 for VPN, setting only the required filters for PPTP VPN access. What else do I need to do to not have this card interfere with my other and only function as VPN?

Am I right to assume I can't just the one NIC for VPN and LAN, because I couldn't set the filters without blocking LAN access?

Thanks
