Internet Sharing

Hi,

I have 5 Clients connected to the internet via a Host (Internet Connection
Sharing).
It works fine until the Host connects to a VPN.
All Clients will be disconnected from the internet when the Host connected
to a VPN.

Any solutions?

regards,

That's what happens when you connect to a VPN. Replace ICS with a router
or a switch.

So how is a switch going to fix that?

Since we don't know anything really about his setup, he could have
chosen to assign IP's and DNS instead of using a DHCP server; i.e., a
router. There's no way to know what the OP's end goal is or exactly how
his office is set up, so I just included the switch in case. Naturally,
if this is a simple setup without any real servers a router will be the
way to go.

Hope that makes my thinking clearer to you.
