Parallels and VPN

[mrmille]

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

Well, the VPN IN Parallels works fine, it's the one in os x that wont work when parallels is installed

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.
