probably (although not definatally) is related to a misconfigured router 
on the cisco VPN not allowing internet traffic out.  this might be 
intentional too.  I run a very small vpn, and in order to keep 
connection times down (my user base is um....  well then) i have 
configured to not allow any traffic other than directly to the machine 
that hosts the vpn.

dunno if this helps much, but might give you a starting point.
