Automatic VPN connection

[Muttley69]

What is it that triggers the VPN to connect? As I understood it it was trying to connect to a private IP - however, if I use ActiveSync to connect to 192.168.10.16 it doesn't try and connect. In fact, it rarely tries to connect even if I goto Connection -> VPN and try "Connect" - it just makes a GPRS connection, but doesn't even appear to try and connect to the VPN.

Anyone got any ideas?

Thanks.

perhaps the active sync program isn't triggered to connect through VPN when connecting to a "excluded" adress, and all the other programs are?
