Well this appears to be a routing problem then. You need to show us
how the network is setup. Give some fake numbers but it is probably a
routing problem. Show us what kind of commands you are using to setup
routing.
Take a look at the ppp how to on how to connect to two different
networks. It has some excellent examples on how to setup static
routes. Static routes can be tricky but once you understand it is easy.
Example I use the following command over a ppp line to connect with my
computer at work on a private network.
/sbin/route add -net 188.130.0.0 gw 188.130.45.60
Of course the above numbers are complete made up but you get the
point. Once that little command is run I can access all the computers
on the local network at work. I suspect if you can ping the computer
or traceroute than you can setup a route to the computer. You never
know they may be blocking this type of traffic at the main firewall
for the residential unit.

The ppp howto has a good section on setting up two different networks
to talk through ppp. The principle is the same.

Don't have a clue I didn't look when I sent the last message. I made
sure this message gets back to the list. I'm sure others would like to
hear about this situation and solutions. Also others on the group know
far more than me. :-)
Later,
Alan
