Connectivity question regarding domains... smb signing

[n25an]

I pretty much have the same issue, but at home.

When I have my company notebook running at home, I quite often need to use the Cisco VPN to connect to company resources.

When it is connected, I lose all connectivity to shares I have open on my personal PC, or any other PC I'm "fostering" at the time.

I even lose connection to the printer I have connected to a parallel port on another PC.

I discovered that when the VPN is running, I can't connect to my personal email account (standard POP3 and SMTP) either.

Once I shut the VPN down, all is good again.

make sure local lan access is enabled in cisco vpn... if it still does not work then your admin overrode it...

if thats the case do the following which will delete your route map

You need to do this EVERY TIME YOU CONNECT, as the Cisco client will inject the routes upon each connection.

This simply deletes the "override" by removing the route map between your local LAN range and the VPN Interface.

1. Connect to your Cisco VPN server
2. Go to Status > Statistics > Tunnel Details and Verify that Local LAN Access is "Disabled" under the Transport heading.
(If it shows Enabled, then you have another issue preventing your access which my instructions won't solve)

3. OPEN A COMMAND PROMPT AND TYPE "route delete 192.168.1.0" (without quotes, where 192.168.1.0 is your local LAN)

4. Try to ping or connect to a local machine to verify success.

also thinking back... everything was connected to the router and it was a pretty big router... size of four bricks stacked on each other... so its possible that the router was also doing the blocking... that is possible with fancy routers... its not without precedent...

I have customers where all the printers are on a different subnet than the computers. This is handled through managed switch stacks which is what you might have.

when printers are on a different subnet
can you still print?
can you still scan?

All depends on the subnet mask. 255.255.0.0 allows you to see anything with the first 2 octets the same.

interesting idea... thanks...
