Routing issue with VPN

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.pocketpc (More info?)

I have an issue getting my company VPN to work using my Dell X30 and
my Nokia 6820 via ATT. From what my IT guy tells me, even though I am
connecting the VPN successfully, because ATT uses a class A subnet
mask, and my company uses a class C, company resources, such as
Exchange, aren't being looked for on the company network through the
VPN, but instead are being looked for on the ATT network (and
obviously timing out).

So the question is how to set up a route to a different gateway for
the VPN resources? I know it can be done with Windows XP, but how is
it done under PPC?

Thanks in advance, and if I didn't make something clear, please let me
know.

When the VPN connection is established a new "default route" gets added to
the TCP/IP routing table. This route causes packets which do not match any
of the other routes to be sent through the VPN tunnel. However, if a
packet's destination IP address matches another route table entry, e.g. a
subnet route for another interface, then that match will be used rather than
the default route.

I have seen some cases, such as an internet connection with a 10.x.x.x
address, and the VPN server using the same 10.x.x.x address range, that can
cause routing problems like Daniel described. Some changes have been made to
mitigate these, and it is possible to workaround the routing issues by
directly modifying the routing table using the IP Helper APIs.

VPN stays connected, but everything times out. The logs show me
connecting, and I'm assigned an IP address. But from then on no
traffic moves across the VPN. I tried pinging several servers, but
all timed out.

Hmm, I was looking at Jeff's post about modifying the routing tables through
api's but I have no idea on what that would take. I'll ask around and see
if there's a solution.

Cingular now offers publicly routable IP addresses provided at connect time
explicitly so that VPN will work.

Version 2.2 of the WAP, Wireless Internet, Wireless Internet Express, and Data
Connect document explains this. The exact title escapes me.

Yeah, that's a publicly routable IP address.
