I'm developing an application that requires connections to SQL Server and Oracle. The SQL Server host that I connect to is behind my company firewall and my Oracle host is an ASPLinux Oracle 10g Express Server virtual appliance running locally under Parallels Desktop 3.0 (Build 5584) on my MacBook pro. While at work I'm able to connect to both the SQL Server and Oracle instances with no problems. When working from home, I need to connect to my company's VPN to access the SQL Server instance. I'm using version 4.9.01 (0100) of the Cisco VPN client, which allows me to connect to the SQL Server host with no problems. But when I'm connected via VPN, I can't access the Oracle host running in Parallels. The strange thing is that if I connect to the company VPN using the built-in Mac VPN profile, I can connect to both hosts with no problems. The issue with the built-in Mac VPN client is that my connection gets intermittently dropped. Any ideas? Config details: Macbook Pro running 10.5.2 Parallels Desktop 3.0, Build 5584 ASPLinux Oracle 10g Express Server connected via Host-only networking Cisco VPN Client, versino 4.9.01 (0100)
