Hi there,
Apologies if this has been previously discussed, I have hunted everywhere all night for an answer and haven't found one yet, so here goes....
I am studying at the local university and they do not provide VPN or the like, external access to various bits of data is only available to PC users using the metaframe client, so if I want to access db's and journals at the library, I have to dial-up (thats how they authenticate) or schlep across town in person .
At home we use airport w/DSL and have static IP addresses. I realise I can switch between dialing up and using airport but it is becoming quite frustrating and it seems that I should be able to specify that any packets that go to the university do so via the dial-up account while the rest get routed normally though my ISP. Is this not possible?
I have had a number of configs going on during the last few days but I only managed once to get both connected in any functional way, but all my internet traffic went through the dial-up connection (slow) and my local network was a mess of jam packets (I store music on my desktop machine in my office upstairs and iTunes was rebuffering every 3 minutes).
Im sure there is probably some simple little ding dong that I am missing, but as is often the case, I have looked at it so hard now - I can't see anything anymore!
Any advice?
Oh, by the way, my set up is a PowerBook G4, airport extreme to a belkin 802.11b access point then to a flowpoint router. The phone is an Sony-Ericsson T610 and I am connecting to it via bluetooth, which works fine when I am out and about. My OS is 10.3.1. I can't think of anything else that might be useful. Oh, I used to be the dial-up support for the university so its not that I don't know how the network works! *grin*
Thanks in advance.
Stefan
