except if my VPN client is turned on.

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.

Reading c.l.p. helps even for non-Python questions! A friend of mine had a problem with a VPN, I vaguely remembered this post and looked for it, and in a few minutes we fixed the problem. Thanks!
