That's not the correct value for 2 reasons...
1) Because you're using a VPN to access the remote machine, it probably is separated from the rest of the 'net by a firewall. Try logging into the remote machine and pinging the local machine's IP address. Do you get a response?
2) Even if the remote machine could reach the local machine via the DHCP-assigned IP address, doing so would circumvent the VPN (the X traffic would go _around_ the VPN instead of _through_ it).
You really need to talk to someone who is knowlegable about your VPN setup to help you figure out the IP address that's associated with the far-end of the VPN tunnel.
Yes, we have router/gateway device running a propritary firewall and VPN. Inside that our corporate network use NAT. Though I also have physical access to our router, I'll ask our ISP and router vendor about the setup.
But just to clarify first:
When you say "figure out the IP address that's associated with the far-end of the VPN tunnel";
you don't mean the iP address of the router itself?
