[wellylug] OT: VPN howto

Please excuse the off-topic nature of this post. This has a tenuous link 
with Linux in that my network servers run Debian. Trouble is I can't 
access them remotely through the VPN I've set up.

The firewall is IPCop1.4 and on it I've configured a roadwarrior VPN 
using PSK between IPCop and a laptop running XP SP2. I followed roughly 
followed the instructions at:
http://www.ipcop.org/1.2.0/en/vpn/html/

I can establish a VPN connection using ipsec.exe. I can ping the 
firewall's  internal IP address. I can ssh to the firewall using PuTTY 
through the VPN (external ssh access is blocked). Trouble is I can't 
access anything else within my home network.

I expect the next step is to set up some appropriate routing but search 
as I may I can't find an appropriate howto. Anyone been here done that?
