Oddly, while the VPN was broken, the Ethereal/WinPcap worked fine.

I finally fixed the problem today by reinstalling the network card's
drivers.  For future reference, it was a Realtek TRL8139/810x NIC.

You may better ask the WinPcap team about this. Wireshark is very 
certainly *not* the cause of your problems, but WinPcap probably is.
