Your VPN connection may be confused by the simultaneous existence of several enabled network connections, and disabling the inactive ones may help. Some machines with multiple Ethernet adapters have difficulty with connecting to the VPN server.

If both network adapters are PCMCIA-based (i.e., located on PC cards you insert into slots on the side of your laptop computer), you may wish to stop the wired Ethernet adapter and then remove it from the system when you want to connect to the wireless network.
