Yes. A VPN connection can't be kept across network switches, because your IP address is going to change, and therefore the endpoint of your tunnel. We had talked early in the development process about keeping an active VPN connection up, ie if you switch from wired to wireless, the VPN connection would automatically re-activate on the wireless until you explicitly turned it off. I think that's still a neat idea, but it still breaks apps that don't expect the network to go away.
