The biggest problem with using vpn to connect to an AP then to the net is
they you need to set exceptions in the ppc very broad and I don't think
it'll work all that well. The connection manager never thought that you'd
need to connect to a vpn then get on the internet. The way it's setup in
the ppc is different than in xp, in xp you can split the tunnel and such.
In the ppc can go to the internet and drop the vpn tunnel or tunnel through
the vpn but not both. The only way i've seen this work on the ppc was using
true ip/sec with either split tunneling enabled and/or everything go through
the tunnel. The only problem is that most of the third party ip/sec clients
are disappearing fast leaving a big void.
