Thanks for all the help...It seems I may be locked out of my local lan while connected :( I now have a semi-minor issue to solve. When connected to the vpn I can use realplayer to listen to internet radio after configuring the necessary proxy server. I have not been able to configure xmms play the same links. Off to RTFM for this. Cheers, Mike thinking that that I

Maybe, maybe not. Most VPN software intentionally blocks access to other networks except thost reachable through the VPN for security reasons. This is known as disabling "Split Tunneling". If you can re-enable Split Tunneling, you would be able to access your local network without going through the VPN. Unfortunately, it is usually a setting controlled on the VPN server, and enforced by the binary-only VPN client.
