I can't browse my local network drives, or connect to exchange server for outlook at all while I am VPNd in to another server.
I've looked around to see if other people have this problem, and it seems like its not just me, but the solutions that i have seen for the problem don't seem to be working. Any ideas?

That is the nature of a VPN connection.
It creates a Secure tunnel to the resource.

Disconect from the VPN connection in order to access sources outside of the VPN tunnel.
