Two addendum points: 1. A LOT of ISPs use RFC1918 address space as connector IPs on their own network. It conserves IP addresses that they can sell/lease to customers, and overall it works well. This means that if your ISP is doing this, and your VPN is on a different block, AND the ISP routers

Seems that I'm jumping in late on this thread, but as I recall on laptops, especially those using PCMCIA cards, card services have to start "before" the networking drivers are loaded.
