[pptp-server] PPTP VPN ADSL

[Benjamin Smith]

If you use a pptp client on a linux computer that's also IP Masquerading, do
all the computers on the local network become part of the remote network as
well? 

In other words, 

Local addresses are 192.168.1.* and remote addresses are 192.168.2.*, and I VPN
to the rermote network using an IP masquerading Linux box locally, which
provides Internet access to the local network, does the whole local network now
have access to the remote network? 

Also, can windows be setup to VPN over a masqueraded IP connection to the
Internet? 

Thanks
