   Hello,   
      
   I assume you are connecting to a PPTP server (your company's?) that does   
   not allow you to directly access the Internet.   
      
   There are two solutions: 1. find out from your company's IT people what   
   the proxy server for HTTP is, and set that in your browser, and/or 2.   
   Turn off the default gateway in your VPN/TCP/IP setting.   
      
   There's a danger with 2., in that it might allow hackers who hacked into   
   your PC to piggy-back on your VPN connection to your company's server.   
   So check with your company's IP folks first before doing this.   
      
   BTW your problem has nothing to do with the router.   
      
   Hope this helps.
