absolutly.  in this case, i *beleive* it should be an option to set up 
the routing table on your local machine to not change your default route 
when i connets (which i probably is doing), and only add direct routes 
to the vpn connection.  i know this is possible using a *nix vpn client, 
  as it is on macosx.  With a bit of work, or maybe a good bit of 
google, i'm sure at least xp can be coerced into this too.

hope this helps.
