Yes.

Yes.

Looking around, I found another place for domain name, under
Control-Panel -> Internet-options (instead of Network Connections)
and since then it now works half the time (every other time I connect).
Weird, but at least it's usable now (with a little screwing around).

Now what's the trick to mapping a network drive through the VPN?  :-)
All I get is timeouts, like it's not going through the VPN,
and I know the VPN is working because I can browse intranet sites
and telnet to ports only on the internal network.
