I'm sorry. I didn't read your email close enough. I didn't see that you 
could connect properly from the wlan or lan. Try lowering the MTU on the 
virtual adapter to a low value. This can sometimes solve problems with 
mobile broadband adapters.

Also, its worth mentioning wireless broadband providers often release 
custom versions of the wireless adapter utilities that can interfere 
with VPN connections. There were two separate instances that have been 
reported on this mailing list that were corrected by downloading and 
installing the generic drivers and software from the original adapter 
manufacturer.
