Corporate Lan connection with iBurst

[TheSani]

Hi - just got my iBurst UTC yesterday.

My apologies if this has been discussed before but I cannot find it anywhere. If there is a thread on this then a link to it would be appreciated.

I have the UTC in my laptop running Windows XP. I would like to connect to iBurst at work - the problem however is that I loose my corporate LAN connection when I do. Is there a way I can run both connections i.e. to connec to iBurst for Internet surfing and still being able to see my corporate network for Terminal Services and in house email, shared network drives, etc. I don't want to connect to iBurst and VPN back here!

Thanks in advance!!!!

Which company do you work for?

Hmmmmm your issue is a routing one.......your IT dept probably doesn't want to bother becoz it is a bother or maybe to complex for them or you gonna confuse other issues...you are in essence adding a router to your network!.....I'm surprised they haven't stopped you from using it on site......or stopped you from trying to get it right!Hmmmm had a customer who did that once and wasted all the money his company spent on expensive firewalls to have it compromised by a live internet connection running on their LAN.

This was the reason for the smiley... No corporate LAN administrator wants an open connection to the internet that he doesn't control.

Well that's the only one connection you can see that you can't control.....corporate policies are so slack.....the threat only used to be end users taking their laptops home and getting it infected via primitive dial-up and now it's a mobile threat


Aaahhhh there's no such thing as security only opportunity! Good thing I have strict policies!

Anyway......
