The issue here is the same. I believe that this is normal Windows 2000 behavior. We have observed this on multiple systems both with NetSwitcher and without NetSwitcher. It appears to be related to the auto-discovery process used in Windows 2000 to locate proxy servers and firewalls on your network. This appears to be the intended behavior by Microsoft. UPDATE 27-FEB-2001 If, however, you are using the Nortel ExtraNet VPN Client (a.k.a. IPSECSHM adapter) and you are seeing this, we do have a fix. NetSwitcher V3.2.2 corrects this issue for the IPSECSHM adapter. Note also that the most recent versions of the IPSECSHM adapter from Nortel do not do this.
