Linux Host, Windows guest: unable to connect to remote network using Cisco VPN Client — at Initial Version

Description
I have already dropped a post to the VBox forum, but I have received no answer. It is very probably a VirtualBox bug.
The problem is the following: after having successfully established a VPN connection using Cisco VPN Client, I am not able to reach a server on the remote network (in particular, not able to ping it and not able to connect using RDP). The guest OS I use for Cisco VPN client is Windows XP SP3 32 bit.
If I connect to the remote network using a "real" Windows XP SP3 32-bit, with similar configuration, after having successfully established a VPN connection using Cisco VPN Client, I am able to reach remote server.
The VBox Windows XP has no firewall, no special routes, nothing that make me think about a guest XP configuration problem. In the forum post I have reported the network configuration before and after VPN connection. I have changed the version of VPN Cisco client, but the same VPN connection works on 3 PCs I have tried, whereas the same VPN connection does not work in two different VBox XP 3.2.6. I am almost sure that the connection worked in the past, while the VBox was presumably in 3.0 or 3.1 release.
Thank you for your support. Regards
