   Your "Security Guy" at work has disabled "Split Tunneling" on his gateway   
   (and rightly so).   
      
   Which basically puts blinders on your PC so that it can ONLY "talk"   
   to devices on the other side of the VPN, your local stuff is blocked.   
      
   Work arounds.   
      
   A) Use a secondary protocol on your network (like IPX or NETBEUI) for   
   sharing.   
   Bind file and printer sharing to just that protocol for your network (not   
   TCP/IP).   
   The Contivity software only works with TCP/IP, it can't and won't filter   
   other protocols.   
      
   B) Put a second NIC in your home machine and don't "bind" the Contivity VPN   
   client too it.   
   I haven't tried this yet, it may be that you need to install the NIC after   
   your Contivity software is installed.   
   This may not even work.   
      
   C) Ask your "Security Guy" to make an exception for your network.
