Windows XP VPN process

I VPN into work pretty often, and use my workstation for remote file loading in an application I'm writing. Occasionally the app will hang, and the VPN will become unresponsive. I'd like to disconnect it, and reconnect, but there's no way to do it. Killing explorer and going to Network Connections doesn't work; the VPN only has the connect option, when it's really still connected.

How do I go about killing the VPN connection? Is there a specific process that handles it, or is it merely a sub-thread that I can't kill from Task Manager?
 

"App will hang".

What app? I assume you aren't using XPs built in VPN support.

Can you disable/reenable the network connection that VPN is going over?
 
What VPN client are you using. You can kill the session from the processes table by right clicking task bar and processes tab.
 
I'm using XP's built-in VPN support.

Sometimes the VPN will stop responding while running the program I'm currently coding, which is using a network share to load resources. I'm not sure which is hanging first; it just seems like a very long timeout.

What is the name of the process for XP's VPN client?
