VPN OK, but no access to remote network

| Office network -- Hotbrick Firewall/VPN LB-2, 192.168.254.x on LAN side
Home network -- 192.168.1.x
I have successfully made router-to-router VPN connections using Linksys
BEFSX4, and using U.S. Robotics Secure Storage Router Pro 8200 on Home
network. I have also successfully made client-to-router VPN connections
from my home computer directly using SSH Sentinel version 1.3.2. However,
in all cases, I am not given an IP Address on the 192.168.254.x network nor
can I assign myself an IP Address on that network. Therefore, I cannot
access anything on the Office network.
I am currently using the client-to-server setup with SSH Sentinel.
Everything works fine until I select the option in the client to "Acquire a
Virtual IP address". This option causes the VPN to fail.
The log file on the Hotbrick shows that the VPN is connected, but I don't
seem to be able to get beyond that point.
Ports 50, 500 and 4500 are open. Are there others that I need to open?
The Hotbrick is NOT the DHCP Server for the remote network. Does that
matter?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
James

| Did you ever get this resolved? I am having the same problem
connecting to a Linksys BEFVP41. If I uncheck the "Acquire a Virtual
IP Address" option, I can connect, but there's not much I can do after
that.
