What exceptions? Do you connect directly to the internet or do you have
a hardware router/firewall inbetween?

That should not happen and most likely due to a misconfigured VPN
client. The SP2 firewall can create a log of packets dropped. You should
turn that on, then use the VPN client and go through the log afterwards
to see what the SP2 firewall actually did. This should give you some
pointers to what caused the problems and where to look for a solution.
Your system administrator should be able to help you with the proper
configuration if you can point him to your problem. My Cisco VPN Client
works fine with the SP2 firewall turned on and a hardware
firewall/router in between.
