Windows tries to use VPN as internet gateway when VPN active

[Dolphin]

I'm trying to set up a VPN between my bosses' machines through Windows own VPN client.
It works fine, but whenever I connect to the VPN server, the client-side machine tried to route internet through the VPN connection instead of the LAN adapter connection. It's weird, because the VPN works....so I must still have an active internet connection....and yet nothing else will work properly over the net. Browser, etc.

What the heck? how to fix?

In the advanced TCP/IP properties of the VPN connection, uncheck the option to use the default gateway on the remote network.

Doing so forces VPN to connect through IPX.....undesirable.

not possible on a 2k3 box
The MS VPN no longer will route that protocol.

mearly stated that as I figured it would be a 2k3 box, but of course, waiting on a response

Sorry, XP

that's "by design" it routes everything out the vpn pipe.

Well there's an option for it in Vista. Can't remember what i did when i was running XP.

I thought Windows XP doesn't even come with IPX by default.

I wonder how Hamachi does it.
