connecting to remote network from vmware machine

["nayyer zubair" <nayyerzubair@hotmail.com>]

Hi all

I am in a bit of a fix. I have a VPN connection to my office's network and I 
would like to connect to an office machine from my vmware linux virtual 
machine.

At home I connect through the net through my cable and I have a wireless 
router which gives me a IP address. Right now the router gives the VM 
machine an internal IP address like 192.168.0.3. And it gives my host 
Windows machine a similar IP like 192.168.0.2.

Now from the host windows machine and with my VPN connection I can easily 
connect to my remote office machine just by telneting into it. But I cant do 
it from my vmware machine. Telnet just hangs.

I guess the reason could be that the Linux VM doesnt see that the host 
windows machine has a VPN connection set up, right?  Is there a way the VM 
can detect the VPN connection?

any ideas?

thanks in advance
