   There the rub, You cant. The subnets have to be different.  Your TCP stack   
   will not know to route the packets out of the gateway.  It is a logistics   
   problem for sure.  I would have used a more unusual private address space   
   internally.  Something like 10.100.10.X   
      
   All NAT-T does is encapsulate the IP header in UDP to allow the packets to   
   go through the NAT process without being mangled.   
      
   Are you using Sonicwalls client?  Are you using a actual public IP at the   
   VPN terminating device?
