Jerry, Can you give us some info on his networks at both locations. YOu said both loations have networks of 10.0.100.xx. Do they both have a Broadband router in place?
The problem that I can see right away is that you can't have two networks with the same IPs and try to VPN between them. Check this. My ip is 10.0.100.1 my VPN servers ip address at my business is 10.0.100.2 THe prob is that when you hit your VPN software and tell it to connect, the frist thing that it tryes to do is get to the IP of 10.0.100.2. Based on your IP, assuming as subnet mask of 255.255.255.0, it is on the same network. No routing is required. So the request never even goes out the router. This is a known issue with VPN and well, I do belive it is deisnged to work that way. He would first off need to change his internal network at his home ot 10.0.101.xxx. This would allow him to go out his router looking for that 10.0.100.2. My assumption is that he either can't connect, or once connected he can't do anything.
