This screen-shot shows the desired behavior (which only happens after unplugging my category 5 cable and plugging it back in).

Typically, I'm able to connect to them by simply clicking on the networking indicator/applet icon and going to "VPN Connections" menu. There, I'll normally see a list of all VPNC connections I've configured. And then, by simply clicking one of them a connection becomes established. However, after rebooting, I now go there, and none of my VPN connections are listed under "VPN Connections". Yet, if I click "configure vpn", and go to the VPN tab (in the dialog that appears), the connections are definitely still there. Why is it that sometimes those VPN connections (I've configured) don't get quick-listed under the "VPN Connections" menu? It is annoying because when they are not quick-listed there, it requires additional steps for me to establish the connection.
