What VPN client are you using ? This sounds as if the client is working correctly.
When you initiate the client it creates a "tunnel" into the target network. The "tunnel" can't be penetrated from the outside.Conversely,the tunnel can't be broached from the inside.
There is a oprion in some clients called "split-tunneling".
This will enable you to access outside the tunnel.

thanks for the reply...in not familiar with this but i just created a VPN connection in the WindowsXP network connection control panel. where can i find this split tunneling option?? i have read some books that i have to use the Router and Remote Access service in the server...im not really sure about this. could you help me??
On that VPN connection, go into Properties, then select the following:
Networking --> Internet Protocol --> Properties --> Advanced.
You'll see a check-box labelled:
Use default gateway on remote network.
Clear the check-mark in that box and life should be better. Why Microsoft decided that should be the default is beyond me.
