VPN / WiFI problem

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

The only way to funnel everything through the tunnel is to add "*.*" to the
exceptions list. While this should work great when you're using the campus
wifi, it will be frustrating when you are on a different network because
there's no way to set profiles for the exceptions list. My only suggestion
would be to add "*.*" to the exceptions when you want to use the schools
network and delete it when you're elsewhere. Is it a pain.....oh very much
so but there's no way around it.

No problem, and I agree 802.1x would've been much easier.
