Some of the Broadcom cards have a known issue and it sounds like you have
one of those. Dell used them on their 1900 and 2900. Download the newest
version of the drivers, reboot and you should be fine.

The Issue:
I am completely green regarding setting up a VPN and I am OBVIOUSLY
missing some step. I tried to follow the two methods that I have
seen, most often. There are various articles on how to setup VPN the
two I followed are:
1) http://support.microsoft.com/kb/323441/
and
2)
http://www.windowsdevcenter.com/pub/a/windows/2004/03/09/vpn_connection.html
Results of using method one with Broadcom not in team mode*:
It seems that shortly after enabling "Routing and Remote Access" users
could no longer access shares on servers. The network cards were
generating "limited or no connectivity" and the machines were renewing
their IP addresses to Private addresses. Disable "Routing and Remote
Access", reboot affected machines and it all reverses.
Results of using method two with Broadcom in team mode*:
No impact on Intranet, I can connect to VPN from home, but I cannot
access any IntraNet resources.
Results of using method two with Broadcom not in team mode*:
No Internet at all. For instance, the only web pages that can be
displayed are the ones built into the DSL "Modem."
* The Broadcom BCM5704C has two RJ45 ports and is treated as two
identical network cards. They can each have their own IP addresses or
the can be teamed, making both of them visible to the network with
only one IP address. The team with method two has given me the best
results so far, but still no success.
Obviously method two with Broadcom in team mode looks the most
attractive. But no success is not going to work.
I am going through all of this because we have hired someone who is
going to need to be able to work from home at least two days a week.
He was hired with the understanding that he would be provided VPN
access to files and resources. I was only just told, after he was
hired, of course. All I have to do is make it work. No big deal,
right? ;-)
