Using VPN on WiFi

qwerty · 14 Oct 2008 at 11:42

I am connected at the moment to a WiFi network, but as soon as I connect to a VPN, the WiFi connection stops working? Why would this be? Is there a way to get around it?

I'm not sure what details would be useful to solve the problem, so if anyone wants to know any more information, please ask.

I am using a Cisco VPN client.

The wifi connection doesn't disconnect (i.e. if I disconnect the VPN, the Wifi works fine again without having to reconnect to it), it just stops sending and receiving so I effectively lose internet access.

Unlikely. It works when I use my 3 mobile broadband but not with the WiFi I am now using.

Its a USB plug in modem and VPN works fine with that, but not when I connect to my university's WiFi.
