Which is promising.

If the netmask at work is 255.255.255.0, then the CIDR would be
192.168.100.0/24, of course a different netmask is possible.

I am not sure what distro and kernel you are running, but in the old
days we had to patch our kernels to support the MS MPPE encryption.  I
believe that this has all been merged upstream... in fact a quick check
of http://pptpclient.sourceforge.net/ confirms this.  This site may be
able to help.
