The reason you need the VPN is that your default gateway is probably
pointing to the gateway IP on the office router. That's NOT the
correct way to setup a VPN on a mobile device. However, you may be in
luck if only IE6 is NOT working.

Start IE6 and go unto:
Tools -> Internet Options -> Connections
My first guess(tm) is that you have it set to always dial the VPN
connection or some kind of profile that points to the old wireless
card. Try it with "Never dial a connection" and see if that fixes
IE6.

If not, my 2nd guess(tm) is to select "Lan Settings" on that page,
record the current settings so you can put them back if necessary, and
clear out whatever is in the "Proxy Server" settings. Also, make sure
that "Automatically Detect Settings is *NOT* checked.

I dunno if these guesses will help, but it's worth trying. Otherwise,
I suggest you have your company IT people set it up exactly the way
you want it.
