name resolution problem when using wired connection for VPN

This is an odd problem.
Using FC3 2.6.10-1.760_FC3 with Cisco VPN Client 4.0.4 on a Toshiba
Tecra M2 Laptop which has the 2200BG wireless chip set. It also has a
Intel 82540EP Gigabit Ethernet Controller for wired connections.
I can establish a VPN connection just fine using the wireless
connection, everything works as expected.
However, when I use a wired connection the VPN appears to be established
just fine. But when I try to access anything the name resolution fails.
I have checked and compared the /etc/resolv.conf files as well as the
netstat -rn outputs for both wired and wireless connections. Everything
appears to be the same.
Running ethereal I can see the DNS queries go out and what appears to be
encrypted replies coming back (I suspect I see the outgoing queries
un-encrypted because ethereal gets the packet prior to the VPN).
Google results have not returned anything that looks the same as this
problem.
If this was a problem with the VPN client I would expect it not to work
with either connection not just with wireless.
Any ideas?
