VPN client and wireless can't coexist

That probably because split tunneling isn't enabled on the VPN device you're connecting to. If you have access to the VPN device, enable split tunneling, if not, contact the admin who does and ask them if they're willing to do that for you. It can be a security risk, so don't expect much unless you know them pretty well.

Matt,

Thanks for the response. Actually, the kicking just started happening recently after I've tried so many workarounds. So, I'd probably assume split tunneling is enabled then. What about the ports 500, 10000, 62514, and 62524?

Here's actually what's happening via my system log:

I connect to my wireless network via router/firewall unit (D-link DI-624) then Verizon DSL. All is well until I initiate my VPN client. Then I after a few seconds, the wireless connection and VPN connection both get lost. Then wireless reestablishes itself. Here's a summary of system log:

IPSEC sent stop control and enter stop state Security system detects a downgrade attack for the domain controller, Kerberos reports no logon servers available Security sysytem cannot establish secured connection Network adapater device\\tcp_ip was disconnected from network, config released IPSEC sent start control and enter running state Browser forced an election on device\\netbt_tcpip Network adapter device\\tcp_ip was connected to network, initiated normal operation

Here's all system logs:
