I have installed Snow Leopard on my Mac Book Pro and now have an issue
with network routing when I connect L2TP VPN to a Tiger server.
VPN is configured to *not* route all traffic over VPN. This has worked
nicely for the last 2+ years. When I am at home or at a customers site
I connect L2TP to my office Tiger Server. No problem leaving the
connection on for intranet access and at the same time access the
internet directly.
However since installing Snow Leopard this weekend this does not work
any more. Whenever I try to connect to the internet (e.g. try to
browse with Safari) I get the message "You are not connected to the
Internet" while at the same time I browse my VPN intranet and access
afp shares and a private mail server over this channel. As soon as I
disconnect VPN internet access is restored. I have checked in VPN
prefs that the checkbox "route all traffic..." is still unchecked. I
even toggled it on, then off again, but nothing happened.
Interestingly some times I get the message that Safari cannot find the
server, and sometimes, although very rarely, I can actually connect to
a server on the outside. I think these are servers whose address is
still in the cache so that no DNS lookup is needed. The whole behavior
reeks like some DNS/timing issues, but I may be wrong. Well, from here
on I need help. It has worked for the last 2 years and now stopped.
The only new thing in the game is Snow Leopard client. Thus I think
there must be something in the new OS that causes the problems. But
what?
Any help is very much appreciated.
Thanks a lot
