Hi All, This is my first thread so please be gentle !.... I have a machine running XP SP2 that has two NIC's - 1 goes through the network and an SBS 2003 server then finally reaches the router to the Internet... The other card bypasses the server all together and runs directly into a firewall then to a VPN. My problem is that when I try to connect to the second "network" the VPN when I currently have an open web page to the Internet It tends to hang and takes around five attempts to bring the page up. This is also the case from the other way around so when I've connected to the VPN and try to open an internet browsing page this takes an age... I am grateful for any comments/suggestions?? Regards Mark
