java.net.Socket doesn't correctly route over VPN tunnel

Hello all,

I've traced a problem with a VJ# library to a failure of the CLR to use the
correct route to the host.

I'm running Windows XP, patched latest, and the .NET framework 1.1.  I also
have the following NICs:
Wired ethernet connection
Wireless NIC
Cisco VPN tunnel interface

The Cisco tunnel is used over our wireless network.

If I disconnect the wired connection and establish the VPN, all software on
the system routes over that interface, except for the CLR as far as I can
tell.  The JRE 1.4.2_09-b05 works just fine with the same network
configuration.
Here's my test class:

package ConsoleApplication1;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.InputStream;
import java.net.Socket;
public class Class1
{
public static void main( String[] argzes )
 throws IOException
{
 InputStream in = null;
 Socket sock = null;
 try
 {
  sock = new Socket( "gb-doug-srv", 9920 );
  sock.close();
 }
 catch ( Exception e )
 {
  e.printStackTrace();
  try
  {
   sock.close();
  }
  catch ( Exception e2 ) {}
 }
}
}

### Here's where the test code fails...

D:\Doug\Projects\VJSharp\ConsoleApplication1\bin\Debug>ConsoleApplication1.exe
java.net.NoRouteToHostException:
  at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.connect(InetAddress remoteAddr, Int32
remotePort)

  at java.net.Socket.<init>(InetAddress host, Int32 port, InetAddress
localAddr
, Int32 localPort)
  at java.net.Socket.<init>(String host, Int32 port)
  at ConsoleApplication1.Class1.main(String[] argzes) in
D:\Doug\Projects\VJSha
rp\ConsoleApplication1\Class1.jsl:line 22

### Is there a bona fide route to my server? Yes.

D:\Doug\Projects\VJSharp\ConsoleApplication1\bin\Debug>tracert gb-doug-srv

Tracing route to gb-doug-srv.verity.com [z.22.4.119]
over a maximum of 30 hops:

 1     1 ms     2 ms     1 ms  z.22.6.240
 2     2 ms     1 ms     1 ms  gb-doug-srv.verity.com [z.22.4.119]

Trace complete.

### Here is the arp entry, to a router obviously

Hi,

The VPN bug has been with us since the first edition. If I don't remeber
this wrong, I think they have a patch for it if you open a support case. :o)

Regards,
Lars-Inge Tønnessen
