Looking for someone who knows how to set up dual tunneling, I have my laptop connected by VPN to my work doing email and such, where I am a member of a windows domain - I need to also connect to my home network which is a workgroup. I can connect to each independently, but would like to know how to do simultaeneously - anyone know about this?

technically, you can have concurrent VPN tunnels. your router will need to support it. if it does, then you need to check if both are using the same tunnelling protocol (PPTP, IPSec, L2TP, L2TP over IPSec) because if they are, then both will try to use the same "tunnel" at the same time over your ISP IP from the router onwards.
Here is a solution for you.
on your vpn connection, go to properties, tcp ip, advanced, and remove "use default gateway on remote network"
after that, when you connect, you are automatically connected to two networks, and the outgoing traffic goes via your home network, while you are still able to ping and login to your office network.

a little late reply, not sure if you solved your problem...
If your company is using proprietary dialer software for making connections to corporate netwrk you may not be able to do what you want.
Certain companies add firewalls to the software (i.e. cyberarmor) and as you connect, everything but the company network is blocked (my company does that). That can be bypassed if you have an admin password for the software itself and change "friendly" or allowed networks.
Otherwise it's all in routing and admin0 gave a good resolution.

thanks for the advice - ALL, eventually, it turned out I was trying to solve the wrong problem, I got my outlook email to connect via HTTP and so did not require the VPN. This allows me to print on my local network and gave me what I wanted, but not until I tried the dual tunneling and totally screwed up my laptop
you live and learn
