What happens when you put the domain in the URL entered in the web browser
in your Trusted Sites security zone? Could be the popup blocker in IE or
another setting under the Internet security zone is preventing the VPN

blocker enabled in some other product, like anti-virus software,
anti-spyware software, etc.
