Access the corporate file server from another remote site:

• Add a route to the remote site router for the corporate LAN via the pptp tunnel
• Also add a route to the corporate office router for the remote Site LAN via the pptp tunnel
• If you do not have access to the remote site LAN, you can simply masquerade everything going out through the pptp-client interface of the remote site router, hence the route from the corporate router will not be required
