Access local lan after VPN connection

I have previously connected to my main client over dialup. I was able to
make the dialup connection, leave it up all day, and work on my local
network/internet, or theirs without trouble.

They have just converted to VPN instead of dialup. I can connect to their
network while the VPN is connected, but I can access my local network or the
internet.

I understand there are some routing table entries that I can make to fix
this problem, but I don't know what to change/add.

Can you help?

thanks,

Bob M..

Thanks Bob - I have included it below.

My workstation is 192.168.0.99, and my local gateway is 192.168.0.2. All
other devices on my local network are in the 192.168.0.* range.

Does the remote network use the same IP range as you're local one? if so
you're machine could be conflicting with one on the remote network.
 
Can I assume your client's IP range is 11.0.0.0 /8? Is your computer
multihomed computer? try to disable using default gateway in remote network.
This search result may help. Please post back with the result.

Yes, you are correct about the client's range.

Unfortunately, the Cisco VPN client doesn't have a 'use default gateway on
remote network' option (at least that I can find.

I spoke with the client's IT department, and they won't set up allow a split
tunnel.

Is it possible for me to add a second NIC, and bind the VPN client to it so
that I can still use the first NIC for internet and local lan access?

Ok, if it is Cisco VPN, that is different story. I believe you should have
an option to check Allow Local LAN access. For the internet access, you may
have an option to modify the routing table. However, for the security
reason, your IT guys may not like it.

Yes, it is Cisco. Checking the Allow Local LAN has no effect (I believe
it's blocked on the server side).

Can you provide some pointers for the routing table modification. I've
tried a number of things, but nothing has worked, and I'm far from an
expert.

As for the IT guys - the VPN access that I have been provided is the same as
that provided to regular employees of the company. All of the resources
that the employees need (ie: email, programs, documentation, etc) are
available on their network. I am contracted developer. I need internet
access for my email, access to my dev lab, newsgroups, etc. I had access to
all of this while connected to them over dial up, but now with VPN I have to
disconnect/reconnect the VPN every time I need to make the context switch.
The IT guys understand this, but don't have the ability to modify the
internal policies (understandably so).
