Usually this setting is not required. (not using the default gateway on the remote network) However… if the remote network is routed… you’ll need this setting. Otherwise you are connected but cannot access resources on the remote network. But…. If you use this setting…your routing on the TU network will not function. So you might need to reconfigure the Windows XP routing table in this case. If this is the case please contact the VPN service provider. Again, the ServiceDesk cannot help you.
