That's pretty much what I thought.  "Level 2 network adapter" or
whatever the fancy term is - I know my VMs can't be put directly onto
the VPN, I have to go via NAT on the host.

No, not going to happen.  Her company has a frighteningly strict
security policy (laptop was delivered with full HDD encryption, for
example).

You know bulls?  You know china shops?  That's me and networking that is!

My VPN runs as already a split-tunnel, I am not sure how hers is
configured.  I'm guessing at "all traffic over the VPN - mandatory".  I
certainly won't be touching it.

There is something deeply odd going on though.
GoToMeeting seems to be causing the new router to drop the WAN connection.
I am currently doing the old "one change, are things still working?"
process.
