The setup looks incorrect. Just connect the laptop to the Linksys.
I'm sure, somehow you could get you scheme to work, but I leave such to others since I found it to be too much work and unstable (people change one thing and it's down again.)

Hello,
I was wondering if the following was possible:
In an office, I have a vpn setup to provide IP addresses (range of IP I assigned) to anyone connecting to it from the outside through pptp client (built into microsoft).
At an outside location, I have a PC running windows XP pro with 2 NIC cards.
NIC card #1 connects to a linksys router and goes out on the internet. Using this NIC I run the vpn client and connect to the office and receive an IP address so I can browse through the office network.
NIC card #2 connects to a laptop with a cross over cable. I want the laptop to be able to connect to the office through the vpn session that has been started on NIC #1 through PPtP.
Is this possible? with some type of routing set up? Bridging?
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Cheers!
