Setting up VPN over internet

I have setup the VPN connection, but I can not get the IPs right. I have a home network using a cable modem, with all the computers behind a linksys router and an office network using a DSL modem and a DLink Router. I was wondering how I can get the IP address for my computers? Can this be done, or is there a hardware limitation with the Modems/routers?

Modderman,
Thank you for asking because I had yet to see a viable answer to this question. Your query today inspired me to find that answer and I have. The instructions are specifically for WinXP but the principles can easily be applied to Win2K.

I got the IP addresses they end with .sd.sd.cox.net.(cox is my internet provider) So I guess it is the actual internet IP, and not just the local network.. (I got the IP addresses of this website, when I go to post a message!) Now I get "error 678: There was no answer" The problem I am now running into is how to make the computer accept the incoming connection. Win2000 doesn't have an "allow remote access" button like WinXP has. So is there a registry value I have to change? Thanks for the help so far... almost there...
