This checkbox (and the EnableLocalLAN pcf directive) essentially enables or disables a feature called split-tunelling, which allows you, when enabled, to connect to the VPN's network while still being able to reach the networks that are routed on your network (accessible directly by hitting a router on your network).
However, if you check that box, the default gateway route remains on your local interface (wired or wireless), rather than on the VPN interface, as it should if you want to access the internet, for example, through the VPN. Unchecked, the default gateway is set to the VPN interface, and any network not directly known to your system as being local and accessible directly on your wired interface would be passed through the default gateway, and as such, through the VPN.
