Steve,

Does the Cisco gateway provide tunnel specific DNS servers? If so, you 
should be negotiating a policy that matches the network that the DNS 
server resides in. My guess is that you are being provided DNS servers 
but they reside in a remote network that can't be reached for some 
reason. Can you ping the DNS servers you see assigned to the Virtual 
Adapter via "ipconfig /all"?
