It's not a default route is it? 0.0.0.0? Cheers! Hi David,

Sorry for the late response… what’s the route for the tunnel you are working with?

It’s not a default route is it? 0.0.0.0?

Cheers!

When you define the remote IP network in the branch office profile just set the <b>COST</b> to a value higher than your RIP route/tunnel. Cheers! Hi David,

I have one question. Is it possible to change route preferences (AD in cisco terminology). I've got 2 tunnels...one with RIP routing and one with static routing. RIP tunnel is the primary and the static is the backup but since its static it is taking priority. I've working on this off and on for over a month and any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!

I have the connection up and DHCP is handing out IP addresses, but I get no DNS resolution to MO. Outbound routing is set to Private Private, I have tried adding option 6 to the DHCP server pointing to DNS servers in the MO, but that didn't work (they don't even list when you look at a computer that picked up it settings from DHCP).
