That is easy, but it requires some analogies that will kill the purists. Think of the PPTP server is sort of a virtual router. It listens on all the interfaces, but it's has a "gateway" at .239 which is where you come out. You can not see .239 until you connect, since it is on the far side or the "router." Clear as mud? :-) |
