You probably want to uncheck the "Use gateway on remote network" setting in your VPN connection.
- In "Network and Dial-up Connections" right-click on the VPN connection and select "Properties"
- Click on the "Networking" tab.
- Choose "Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)" and click the "Properties" button.
- Click the "Advanced" button.
- On the "General" tab, uncheck "Use default gateway on remote network"

Assuming you only need to access the servers on one subnet on the remote network, this is safe to do.

By clearing this option, you are telling your PC to use your normal "Default Gateway" through which you have internet access. If you have "use default gateway on remote network" checked, all internet traffic will try to pass throughthe VPN tunnel before going out to the internet and can therefore fail for a number of reasons.
