The problem is probably related to the "only one PPTP connection out
through a NAT firewall" issue.
Once one machine makes a PPTP connection over the Linksys NAT firewall,
you will not be able to connect with the other machines to the same PPTP
server at your office.
I pretty sure that I saw a FAQ about this on the m0n0wall site, but I
can not seem to find the link now.
