It's probably a combination of a router and a nameserver issue.
You'd have to make sure you have a route to your comapny LAN
after dialup (ppp tends to do its own thing with the routes) and you
may have to make sure you can access nameservers on both sides.

Subject: Connecting to dial-up ISP and ethernet LAN simultaneously
I am running a T22 (builtin ethernet and modem) with Win2000. Whenever I am
connected to the company LAN with mapped network drives and then I instigate
a dialup internet connection, I am unable to access the mapped drives.
In addition, using the W2K Offline Files feature and having documents open
when I dialup sometimes caused corruption to those documents.
Does anyone know if this is simply a limitation and that I cannot expect to
get the two connections going happily at once, or is there some settings I
could investigate.
Thanks,
Jeff Wright
