Bizarre connectivity problem

Have you flushed the cache of the browser? Also add

run->cmd

ipconfig /flushdns
net stop "DNS Client"
net start "DNS Client"

your routing is already "correct", but the DNS reference is via the university.

btw; you've never posted the results from IPCONFIG /ALL (please do so)

Have flushed it in the past yes, but not tried the DNS Client stop start thing before.

Funny thing is that when I attempt to load a web page, the VPN connection comes up again, and if I cancel it the pages fails to load at all. When I delete it entirely, we are back to square one and the images dont load.
