I have a poptop setup that works ok appart from not being able to ping
from the remote machine to the Lan machine.  I have setup the following
test network as below, and the winnt box can ping the win98 machine when
connected but not vice versa.  The linux poptop box can ping all ip
address's ok.  I know this seems very much simular to the first question
in the how/to, but I've tried all the stuff associated with arp & PPP
defaultroute on the poptop that is suggested. eg arp -s 192.168.90.89
00:00:B4:59:2A:B0 on the poptop box.  I've also tried putting the VPN
and the PPP on different subnets to 192.168.90.x but still no luck.  Are
my gateways or routes setup wrong I'm not sure?
