Wireless vs VPN

Hi

Need to know if i have a pc connected at work via a network cable that
has the ip address of the ADSL external network i have installed
rather than our ip address of or network at work. When i am connected
to the ADSL my internet is very fast but i cant get onto our network
obviously because its an external network therefore i use VPN to get
onto our network. WHat if i connect wireless to a wireless router
thats on our network,
what happens? I noticed that
wireless when connected, automatically disconnects my VPN. Does
wireless take preference over VPN? Please can someone shine some light
on this as its driving me crazy.

Let me get this straight: VPN over the wired network adapter. Then,
connect wireless to wireless router? If yes, then when you connect
the wireless network, this completely re-defines the network routing
and thus forces the VPN to disconnect.

Wired and wireless networks: are they the "same" network?
