It has been my experience that when you use a VPN connection to your office, you can not browse the web unless you uncheck "use default gateway on remote network", which makes the laptop a big security hole, a gateway from the public internet strait to the private network. Is this not the case?

They can be online through the hotel, have a secure connection to the office while still being able to access the Internet, and be protected by your firewall while connected. In my opinion throwing ZoneAlarm (or any other local software firewall) will create massive headaches for you in the long run. And, of course, keep A/V software up to date. -Shawn ----- Shawn R.

Is their a method or program that can have basic firewall rules while they are offline or should I just download and use ZoneAlarm? OR perhaps there is a firewall of choice that is more popular? I have researched "free" and GPL'ed firewalls and have found that the GPL'ed firewall are overly-complicated for the users, and ZoneAlarm was the best that I've found that is free. Perhaps Microsoft has a program that can download rules from the ISA server and apply them locally. I've googled and search MS KB, and found nothing. Perhaps my keyword choice was poor? I'm less worried about them running online games and more worried about a worm coming in, as in recent virus's.
