you didn't specify what VPN you're using - if you're running IPSec
it's prob. getting blocked by your cable carrier. to get them to
un-block it you'll have to switch your cable account from a
residential to a business tariff (this will, of course, increase your
cable subscription cost). another approach would be to use a non-IPSec
proxy client if your VPN supports it.
