Netopia R910 Router - Router VPN: Can't PING Remote PC

[y2kdad]

I have set up a VPN (PPTP) Tunnel between two Netopia R910 routers
located at a client's main office and the remote office. The main
office has a static IP address (public).

The network IP of the main office is 192.168.1.0 and the remote office
is 192.168.2.0. There is a PC connected to each router directly
(192.168.1.252 and 192.168.2.2). Each router is plugged into the LAN
with an Ethernet cable connecting it to the local switch/hub.

When the tunnel is initiated, I can ping the PC's directly attached to
the routers on both endpoints, but I cannot PING ANY of the PCs on the
LAN at either location.

Can someone help me here? Am I missing something?

Thanks!

Are the PC's on the LAN using the router as their default gateway? Do
you have any other routers? Is the router plugged in to the LAN? Is
that port showing a link or do you need to put it into a crossover port
or use a crossover cable? Is the IP of the router conflicting with
anything? Can users on the LAN ping their local router? And what are
you using to assign addresses to your computers?
