Issue with Host Only Networking

I have the Host Windows XP SP3, installed VirtualBox windows 4.1.6 r74713 and installed Guest OS Oracle Linux5.
The network is setup as Host-Only Adapter.

It works fine for the Guest being seen from the Host.
But once I connect to my work network via VPN, the Host-Only network fails to work. The Guest cannot be seen from the Host.

What does it seem problem? Is this expected behavior? Or Have I missed something?

TIA

Sean

The vpn is effecting the host-only link, I think its expected behavior but not 100% sure. Could also be a vpn setting 'use default gateway on remote network'

Thanks for the input.
We only are allowed to use CISCO vpn client. I cannot find the settng for 'use default gateway on remote network' the cisco's.
Any thing similar I could try?

Other then NAT and some port forwarding for the Host, not really.

I'm new to VB.
I had tried once with NAT port forwarding, and I could not configure it.
I try it again and will post.
