Bob,
Thanks for your speedy response with advice.
Selecting "Use default gateway on remote network" and removing the
existing
HOSTS file did the job and everything now works as it should!
I believe the HOSTS file was the real culprit. I had used an
anti-popup
advert program to modify hundreds of entries to stop unwanted browser
pop-up's and this seems to have caused problems with the VPN. Now the
file
has been removed, everything works perfectly.
Thanks again for your swift response.
Regards,
Richard Tubb.
