Using Win2003 VPN thingy... clients get intermittent drops of internet

Hello all, does anyone know why the client gets intermittent drops of internet connectivity when I connect to the VPN? Sometimes it doesn't find a web page for a few minutes... I keep pushing refresh, and eventually it comes back and it will go to the site no problem.

I think only the outside internet is affected... i still remain connected to the server the whole time there is a connection problem (at least, I'm not warned of a connection problem).

But here's the thing. My client is on the same network as the server (I know--there's no need to VPN to it obviously--I'm just testing it out), so I can Remote Desktop in to it during the times when the internet drops, and I can connect to the internet from there just fine.

So...
1.) it's not a problem with the internet connectivity on my server
2.) it's not a problem with the internet connectivity of my client (i never get these kinds of drops usually)
3.) it's got to be a problem with an unstable VPN connection or something

By the way, I *DO* know about that I don't have to route my internet connection through the server (see pic). When I don't, there are no problems whatsoever. But the problems occur when I do, so that's what I'm trying to solve.

Thanks
