I still have the same behavior with vpnc.  I can connect to the remote
server, but as soon as the connection is authenticated and I am
connected, my local NIC looses all connectivity to the internet...
it's like someone hits the off switch on the network card.  I can only
wake it back up by cycling the card down and back up again... which
then drops my vpn connection to the remote server.

Does anyone have any ideas on this?
