The question is, can I use a local Printer, which is over a local LAN, if Im connected via VPN to an another network ?

If YES, how can I use the local printer without disconnecting VPN ?

Thanks.

Short answer? Nope. Not unless you share the printer and are able to add it to the remote computer.

Life is more painless for those who are brainless.

Jennifer, is it not possible to configure VPN connection, so I can use only some apps through VPN and others don´t ?

lets say, IE, Outlook and some instant messenger through VPN and GAIM throug local network ?

What do you recommend ?

Your network administrator needs to enable "split tunnelling" on the VPN server. Split Tunnelling allows local traffic (and internet traffic) to traverse the local network, and only sends traffic destined for the remote network over the VPN tunnel. You can't enable this on the client side, it must be enabled on the server side.
