Usually when something like that happens with a VPN its because the VPN has been configured to do so. Its the default usually and is a security precaution. The exact wording of the option varies from VPN client to VPN client; and its usually hidden deep in 'advanced'. E.g., on the mac its "Send all traffic over VPN connection", on Windows I /believe/ its something like "Set as default gateway" but its been awhile since I had to tweak my windows install. No idea what it looks like on the Cisco client. --S
