Hi Katie,

Do you have a router at home and that maybe the IP addresses used by
your router overlap those given out by the VPN?

You can check this by connecting to the VPN and then opening a 'cmd'
prompt and typing 'winipcfg /all'.  Look at the IP addresses for all
the connections and see if any of them are very close together (for
instance multiple that start with 192.168).
