VPN connection drops when Activesync connects - Assistance required

[siddys]

I have a HTC Touch 3G (Jade) running Windows Mobile 6.1, i have managed to set up the VPN connection with my work server, the phone connects to the server (although it does say the connection is not encrypted), but when i set Activesync going of the phone the server drops the VPN connection

I have read about adding the server address into the exceptions list, but this does not help.

Any assistance would be much appreciated

Thank you

think it could be because if

settings->connections->connections->advanced-selecet network is set
to my home network
that would make the device try and use the network connection it get access to from active-sync and drop the connection it is using to connect to vpn
I would turn of the ability to use the active-sync as network connection

Thanks for the advice Rudegar

settings->connections->connections->advanced is set to;

Programs that automatically connect to internet = Mobile web
Programs that automatically connect to private network = My Work Network

I would try and change the later of the options
and maybe look in pc activesync for the ability to turn of network sharing
