the dsl that verizon gives me is ppoe over vpn. Unfortunately the install disk verizon gave me does all the magic settings. If you are using a verizon dsl product like vzavenue.net you are using a ppoe vpn connection already so setting up a tunnel over and existing vpn pipe to your employer is going to dead end at the other end of verizons vpn at the redback router that services the dslam you are connected to via the copper pair. So first, check your ppoe settings or verizon docs to see if you are already using vpn to access the internet. If not try the verizon help desk anyway, I work near a verizon call center and some of them can be helpful even though they dont support it. Beggars luck though. Which vpn product are you using to get to work?

software for my verizon setup on a compaq laptop with xp it indicated a vpn was being used to connect me to the internet. On my mac it is a straight ppoe connection, ppoe== point to point over ethernet connectivity. Unfortunately most places that use vpn prefer a public address to public address connection without having to go between a proxy and heartily deny support for proxied net addy's it isnt impossible but requires more work on the providers side to accomplish this which is why it isnt supported very well. If work was supplying the connection it would be easy but with a different provider who has to "pipe" the vpn to you and maintain the connection end to end it is considered extry work. If you had dialup it is a no brainer or many companies use uunet to provide the connectivity to do the vpn end to end.
