I'm trying to setup a VPN connection to my office. In XP, there is a checkbox to route something through the connection (I can't remember the exact wording). But with it unchecked, I only have a connection to the VPN server at the office and not the internet. If I have it checked, then I have a connection to the office and the rest of the web.

In OS X, I can't find this same option. So when I create the VPN connection, I can't surf the web. Does anyone know where this option is?

Thanks!

Once you've connected to the network through your ISP, go to Applications>Internet Connect. It will allow you to create a VPN connection.

I've already created a VPN connection, which is how I connect to the network at the office. But once I do, I lose the ability to go anywhere outside of the office network, like the web.
