ignore that - I believe that is correct - at least - that is the way it
will appear on Windows NT dial-up networking so I would expect that it
is much the same on linux.

more importantly, can the remote access computer ping ip addresses on
the lan? - how about off the lan?  If you can ping, then you would only
need to supply dns info to the dial-in computers.
