   Duh, of course.   
      
   Let me ask you another question. I have also an option to connect to the   
   corporate office by VPN instead of through Contivity. I use VPN I don't have   
   issues with my home network. However, it looks like when I try to browse   
   Internet the whole traffic is tunneled through the VPN connection and   
   performance deteriorates. Is there any way to configure my VPN so it directs   
   ONLY the corporate traffic to itself but leaves anything else through my   
   Local Area Connection?
