I am LAN connected for both machines (not wifi). On the slave
machine, I use AT&T Network Client to connect to 2 different VPNs.
Literally the second I connect to "VPN B", the mouse comes back to the
master and it says slave unresponsive. I try and move back over and
it says slave isn't responding. But when I connect to "VPN A", it
continues to work fine, with no interruption. I've checked the
profile settings of both VPNs and they are identical (except to where
it's connecting of course).

My firewall is Symantec Client Firewall, but even after I disable it,
the same thing occurs. Both VPNs I've accepted as "trusted networks"
anyway.

Another thing is I can also connect to "VPN B" with a different VPN
client (Cisco) and after successfully connecting, it doesn't kick me
off input director at all.

Hi,

Are you comfortable using a command line to try 'pinging' the slave
from the master?

If so - with neither VPN active, confirm that you can ping the slave
from the master. Then activate VPN A and try another ping. Finally,
try VPN B.

If you can't ping the slave when the VPN active, then it sounds like
you've lost a network route between the two systems.

Regs,

Shane.
