Hi,

you are aware that this windows box may be used to tunnel via vpn
in the internal server?

You can try a "dirty trick" (haven't tested it on XP). 

Have a look in your network setup and deinstall the 
"first" network device. Thenreinstall this device. 
With a little luck whfc will bindnow to the other 
network device. If this doesn't helptry to deinstall 
and then reinstall the other device.

If you can change the routing on all this gateways and the
pulic and vpn ip address is static you can try to set a 
hostroute.
