    Website inaccessiable when connected to a VPN network

    Okay here is what I have. I've got a home network of 4 PC's.

    I've got a static IP address and on my PC I've created a webpage. I'm running Vista Ultimate and got everything configured to work. I was able to hit the website from the other PC's in the house via the IP address.

    Now today I connect to my work via a VPN connection and I can't connect to this IP no more from the other PC's.

    How do I allow the other PC's in the house to still hit the website when I VPN into my work PC?

    Your VPN is likely assigning a different IP address and default gateway, possibly limiting all traffic to the VPN.  You may not have control over this, but ask your work network admin if it's possible to override this.

    Figured it out. It turned out I had default gateway checked for the VPN connection. Once I unchecked it I was able to hit my web site and still get into my work PC.
