Here, I must first warn that you must be in agreement with the office networking administrators to extend their network. You need to have a local network between your 'device' and the Linux box. Then, you need to forward the local network via the PPTP link to the office network. It is not clear, which kind of address translation you're after, but Google for 'Linux NAT' and 'Linux port forwarding', and you'll get plenty of HOWTO -style instructions. -- -TV
