Cisco Anyconnect DNS problems with OS X 10.6.5

[ukchucktown]

It was working fine until I upgraded today, now it's hosed and I'm desperate. If I can't get it working I'm back to my Windows box for work and that would stink. I've always had big problems with our corporate VPN and OS X. Can't explain it but it works fine all the time in Windows while it's hit and miss with OS X. The problems are always DNS related. I can't ping but I can nslookup. Check out my terminal output, it's confusing to say the least. Anyone have some ideas? I'm trying to figure out if this is a OS X problem or a corporate network issue.

I did some more testing last night. Same problem on my home network as in the office so I suspect the problem is Anyconnect. I'd love to hear from anyone else who might use Cisco Anyconnect. I tried the Mac VPN client from the System Preferences and it works without DNS issues. I can ping and nslookup so I have a workaround for now.

I, too, updated last night--iTunes and security. This morning when I turned on my computer I got the message which included a very long number and said it was in use by another very long number which ended in "Server 192. 168.1.1". Then a window popped up and it was Cisco Connect. It asked for a password. I have no idea what Cisco Connect is and have no password. So any thing that helps you might help me.
