Author IP address ranges for VPN and normal LAN use with notebook

Hi all!

As far as I can see from other posts, in order to use VPN between home
and office, I have to setup two different IP address ranges, e.g.:
Office IP range: 192.168.0.xxx
Home IP range: 192.168.1.xxx

But now I have to use my WinXP notebook in both LANs. If I set its IP
to lets say 192.168.1.15 it will work fine at home and it will connect
fine from home through VPN to my office network. But what will happen
if I work in my office? My notebook's IP address will be outside the
allowed range.

Please let me know if you can think of a solution to my problem.

Thanks a lot!
Anguel

So, don't set its IP manually. Configure it to "obtain an IP
address automatically". It will then obtain an IP for the appropriate
subnet. Works for me.
