Could be wrong, but it sounds like you have the "Use default gateway on
remote network" checked, which basically means when you try to connect to
any external site it will route the request across the vpn connection.

1. Open the properties page for your vpn connection.
2. On the networking tab, select "Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)" and click
[Properties].
3. Click [Advanced]
4. Uncheck "Use default gateway on remote network"

Hope that cures it.
