Parallels and VPN

This is more of a hint then an actual question.

My VPN to work (PPTP) in OS X broke down when i had Parallels Desktop 3.0 installed. I could connect to my workplace, but well on the inside I couldn't reach anything.

The "in-panic" solution was to simply uninstall Parallels, and now everything is in order again. I will post the solution (if there is any) in this thread.

I use Checkpoint Secure Client (VPN-1) on Parallels 3.0 without any problems

Parallels installs virtual ethernet interfaces. It might be the case that your VPN software simply binds to the wrong interface. In the shell, type ifconfig -a to see the list of interfaces.
