I agree with the first post. In almost every instance, I have to drill
down and check the "Use this connection only for resources on its
network" selection.  Windows acts like NM does by default, and you have
to  remove "Use default gateway on remote network".  If NM wants to stay
in line with what Windows is doing, that's fine, but I would
respectfully ask that the option at least be put on the main config
screen to reduce the number of clicks.
