I've always harbored the belief that -- one of the problems DNS solves -- is that the human brain will remember "www.google.com" much easier than "74.125.21.106". How's that for useless tech trivia?DNS is the internet's address lookup service. When you type in www.amazon.com, DNS converts that to an IP address that computer's understand, and then a connection is requested to that IP address. The router should have a place in the settings where you can designate an appropriate DNS server. The behavior you describe sounds like your computer is not finding what the addresses it's asking for when you're connected through VPN.
