My mate wants to know if its possible to connect an XP Pro machine to a VPN and still use Internet Connection Sharing so that a 2nd PC can still access the net? I know a simpler way around this is a broadband router and apparently he's ordered one but it hasnt arrived yet.

I have never tried it but I can't see why it's not possible as the VPN connection utilises the internet connection anyway.

You do need to ensure you uncheck the "Use default gateway on remote network" option in the VPN connection settings though.
