Thanks guys, looks like it's my Router not being up to the task of handling VPN and another connection at the same time lol !
I'm not expert on these things, so here's a quick question.
Would it be feasible to wire into the Wireless Router (instead of the Modem), so as to try a VPN that way while the missus enjoys wireless ? In other words, do Routers generally take a wired connection while and another Wireless at the same time ? I see four free ports at the back, but nothing in the manual.
If this is possible, then I'll try it - you never know, if it works then peace will once again prevail. At the moment my wife and kids keep getting me to go into the office to work, only so that they can use the internet here ! Nice to feel wanted :O)
