thats an ipsec vpn, quite different to pptp. it creates a tunnel from router to router (although it may work router to single computer too). He'd need to change the setup at the server end. if he could put an ipcop box at each end, and set up ipsec, all the boxes at the client end would be like on the same lan as the server at the server end, thru an encrypted tunnel. I do it from time to time from home to work as I have an ipcop box at each end. it can be a hassle if you don't have well known fixed ip addresses at each end. I tend these days to set up an ssh tunnel if i have a specific need to get at something at the other end.
