What makes you think it should be a VPN connection?
I've used a few different VPN clients from home to connect to work and
customer sites. One thing that they have in common is that I have to
invoke the VPN client in order to make a connection to a particular host.
The other style of VPN involves putting a VPN-enabled router or firewall
piece of hardware at your location, which quietly handles the VPN
connection for you.
In either case, you can't make a connection to the "protected" host without
the VPN connection.
If you have a VPN client, you should have some icon that lets you know that
it is enabled and connected. From a cmd prompt, you should do
ipconfig /all
which should reveal that some of your ip settings are not the same as when
you don't have the VPN client running. You may have more adapters than you
really have, as the VPN becomes one of the adapters.
You probably can't reach any other computer on your local LAN while you are
connected via VPN.
