VPN Ipconfig problem

I have the following problem.
I've setup a VPN server on a winxp pro. Everything works fine, I can connect
to it and transfer files. The problem es that connected or not when I access
de CMD and type ipconfig I don't recieve the usual device information. I
can't see the adapter. When I try to release or renew de IP it says something
like "no device found". I repeat, this happens even if i'm not connected to
the VPN. It seems like the creation of the VPN takes control on the adapter.
Any sugestions? Thanks in advance.

You state "ipconfig" you dont see the adapter...are you using the /all
switch, as in: ipconfig SPACE /all - this will show all adapters and you may
even need to open the cmd window longer height wise to see it too. See below,
the PPP adapter configurations.

Example:

C:\Documents and Settings\Owner>ipconfig /all
