No Internet access with VPN

I am not too clear why, but once I make a VPN connection that PC can no
longer access internet at the same time until the VPN connection is
terminated. Is this normal?

Yes, depending on how your VPN access is set up. Are you using PPTP? Can you
check the "use remote gateway" option so you can get to the internet via the
VPN tunnel established?

For (obvious) network security reasons, it's not uncommon (or unwise) for a
VPN connection to disable all non-VPN-connection access while the tunnel is
in use.

Yes I am using PPTP.

I can not find the 'use remote gateway setting. Can you please point me to
the right place?
