my apologies for the cross posting.
I need someone to verify my setup to see what I am doing wrong.

Office A

Eight Workstations running NT 4.0 SPK 6a Configured via DHCP
One Dell Server With the following services:
        DHCP Server Range 192.168.1.0 Subnet 255.255.255.0
                    Router defined 192.168.1.1 See SMC Router
        WINS SERVER
        PPTP(VPN) Server 2 Ports
        2 NIC CARDS NO.1 192.168.1.10
                                            255.255.255.0
                                  NO.2 192.168.1.11 (VPN Filtered)
                                            255.255.255.0

1 SMC Router NAT Server 192.168.1.1 DMZ Defined as 192.168.1.11 (until I
find out what port the VPN is on)
Connected via Dynamic DSL. address through DYNDNS.

Office B

Eight Workstations Running NT 4.0 SPK 6a Configured Via DHCP
One Dell Server With the following services:
        DHCP Server Range 192.168.2.0 Subnet 255.255.255.0
        WINS SERVER
        RAS DIAL UP (VPN)
        NIC CARDS NO.1 192.168.2.10
                                           255.255.255.0

One Router w/ 6 Static IP (One IP for NAT. Other possible VPN Server Other
Possible WEB/FTP Server)
One NAT server (Type to be decided)

My question is I wish to connect both offices in one of the two following
configs. one PDC in OFFICE A (or B) with a BDC in OFFICE Connecting both
Via VPN
OR TWO SEPARATE DOMAINS WITH A DOMAIN TRUST. From what I understand I can
dial to my PDC via VPN and have the PDC assign an IP from that Domain
then have the dialing server rout traffic to the other server so both
domains and computers are accessible to both offices. Right now i am in an
experimental stage in setting
up the VPN.
