   Hi,   
   I'm trying to connect to my home network (peer-to-peer) using a PPTP VPN   
   connection through a US Robotics router. My Windows XP (where VPN server   
   resides) has a static IP while the other two PC on my home network get IP   
   the address via DHCP. No DNS. Every Workstation and Laptop has its own   
   firewall.   
   I want to ask if the VPN adaptors have to have IP addresses on the same   
   network with my internal LAN or my VPN server is somehow bridged to my   
   network adaptor in Windows XP? It also seems that NetBIOS names do not   
   resolv correctly as I cannot browse the network by names. I have no WINS   
   server.   
   Last question: what ports do I have to open on my local firewalls apart 1723   
   in order to be able to browse the network? My VPN server adaptor on the   
   Windows XP Pro machine doesn't show up in Sygate firewall while the other   
   phisical adaptors do.
