VPN conflicts
----------
Pardon me for a newbie question, but I badly need to find a solution. I have a buggy VPN provided by a local ISP, which I use from my university office to access a server off campus. The VPN conflicts with both Kerberos and Exchange Server on my XP machine. Everyone is passing the buck as to what's the problem. The university says they know nothing, the ISP says it's working fine, and the server owner just looks blank and expects me to work it out. Meantime, I've corrupted MS Access files on the server trying to use them over the VPN. That is, when I can bring them up at all.

For symptoms: I run Kerberos for email security, and Kerberos and the VPN are vying to see which can knock the other one out of action. If I try to start Outlook while the VPN is running, the computer can't see the MS Exchange server.

Am I the only one to have such problems? What are mere mortals supposed to do when VPNs don't behave as expected? What questions should I be asking?
