The solution that our partner company working on the same project had "sold" us is installing all VPN software (Cisco, Checkpoint, etc.) in VM. Cisco VPN has a nasty "feature" of blocking all other networks (hence no internet when working with VPN). The XP in VirtualBox solves the problem completely for us - we can access internet from host, VPN from VM and (with VirtualBox shared folders) exchange files between host and VM.
