I have a user with an Apple OS X that is having the following problem

When he connects to the dsl, he can cruise the world without a problem. However, when he connects to our vpn through the dsl connection he can access my systems just fine; however, he can not browses the web.

In the Win world, I know what to do, but in the apple world I haven't a clue.

Question

i'm not entirely sure but i know in the BSD world normally you use isakmpd for your vpn needs and there is some extra tweaking to get it to work w/ pppoe.

I'm not sure what they are though but some of the people on my vpn were having issues w/ pppoe.

I've seen issues like this when the client connection is set to DHCP and recieves a new defaultgateway. It hangs because it now sees two valid paths to 0.0.0.0

yeah what cm is saying might be the culprit. Even M$ VPNs have that problem, if you end up with a default gateway inside the VPN, it overrides the non-VPN route, at which point your VPN customer could be getting blocked outbound by a firewall, or unable to route using that default gateway, or having some problem with routing in general then. Try a traceroute on the OSX box, to see where it thinks it is going.
