[pptp-server] PoPToP localip/remoteip DHCP Question

I have a question concerning the settings for localip and
remoteip in pptpd.conf
My setup:
Work (pptpd server):
Linux Mandrake 7.2
Samba 2.07 (WINS server)
pptpd-init-1_0_1-1_i386.rpm (installed)
Cable Modem
Linksys cable/dsl router (Forwarded port 1723 to server)
DHCP valid client IP ranges 192.168.7.20-100
Home (client)
Windows 98SE
Cable Modem
First, I don't understand what I should set localip to. Should it be set
to my server DHCP IP range 192.168.7.20-100? I have read the pptpctrl
page and it indicates that setting the value to 0 will force pppd to use
default IPs. Is this what I want?
Second, what should I set remoteip to? I assume the remote IP is for my
Win98 box at home. Shouldn't DHCP take care of this? I'm lost... I have
also read the pptpctrl page and it indicates that setting the value to
0 will force pppd to use default IPs. Again, is this what I want?
As you can tell I'm fumbling around with this one. Any help will be
greatly appreciated
