Win2K laptop, with a VPN connection to my home network. Firewall on
the home network allocates a P2P IP address for the VPN connection
that goes nowhere. I need to then add an explicit route to the P2P
pair to reach machines in my DMZ.

e.g.

Laptop PPP P2P VPN IP = 10.100.100.1
Firewall PPP P2P VPN IP = 10.100.100.200

To reach specific host behind firewall, on 192.168.5.x I need to add a
route like this:

route add 192.168.5.5 10.100.100.1

on the lapper.

And the final fly in the ointment is that the Laptop P2P VPN IP
rotates - so it could be 10.100.100.2, 10.100.100.3, 10.100.100.4 etc
depending on how many active connections there are at the time.

It all seems overcomplicated!
