SOLVED!
I ended up spending a few hours today solving the original problem.

I, like Marek, always give back to the team, so I posted the solution here:
<https://groups.google.com/d/msg/microsoft.public.windowsxp.general/56KgMK6n090/xdRDoSKFAQAJ>

There were more than a half-dozen solutions in the original thread:
<http://www.pcbanter.net/showthread.php?t=1104224> 
the first two of which failed miserably, but the third solution worked
fine, which was a DOS (not Bash!) batch script, which basically disables
the gateway (default being 192.168.1.1) when you're on VPN.

That way, if the VPN drops, there's no network until you re-enable the
gateway. 

a. You run the vpnkill.bat script and press 1 to disable the gateway
b. If the VPN drops, nothing happens since the gateway is disabled
c. When you want to get back on the gateway, you press 2

The DOS script worked as well as Marek's Bash script did on Ubuntu.
I tested it on three different public VPN services to be sure.

What that means, in summary, that Marek Novotny's Bash shell scripts work
fine for Ubuntu to kill the network when the vpn drops, and this
vpnkill.bat DOS shell script does the same thing for Windows (in a
completely different way). 

Marek's method was to constantly and quickly (he spent a LOT of time
improving the speed!) test the network and then quickly kill a given list
of processes by name if the VPN dropped.

This new DOS batch method seems simpler, where it simply disables the
normal gateway (192.168.1.1) while VPN is running. 

The source DOS batch file is located here for reference purposes.

Note this has nothing to do with DNS leaks - which is a different topic.
