Subject:   Networking Question.

Hi All,

  I am trying to setup safefire links for OS/2 as a PPTP (VPN) client. 
The connection is coming up and authorisation is successful to my remote 
server (hotspotvpn dot com).

  When I check PPP0 (the port this software uses) it has an IP address 
assigned and all looks good. Lan0 is also stil up and has the same 
configuration and IP address as it had prior to me starting safefire links.

   The problem is that when I try to use a browser to go anywhere - 
either with a websites name or its IP address, I cannot connect. It's as 
if the traffic from the web browser is not getting directed to the VPN 
tunnel or if it is its not traversing the link.

  What decides which port the browser uses? Is there a command that 
would tell me?
