I have a DSL connection into VPN router. I have two pcs (VPN-PC1 and
VPN-PC2) hanging off that for connection into my corporate lan. I attach a
DLINK DI-624 wireless/eth router to the VPN router for my home network. On
that network I have a wireless laptop, a wireless media player, a pc, and a
Buffalo HD120 NAS. All PCs are running XP SP2.

The VPN router assigns IPs in the range of: 154.153.142.30 - 154.153.142.50.
The DLINK wl router assigns from 192.168.0.1 - 192.188.0.254.

The devices behind the DLINK router can access resources on the two pcs
behind the VPN router. The problem is I can't see into the wireless (DLINK)
network from the VPN side. I would like to be able to have some limited
access from the VPN (using VPN-PC1) side into the wireless side to do things
like access shares on the NAS, control the Media player etc.

I was thinking about adding another NIC to VPN-PC1 and linking into the
DLINK via one of it's spare ethernet ports. From there I was thinking of
using XPs bridging capabilities but I'm not sure if this is the right way to
go. Specifically:

1) If I bridge the VPN side with the DLINK side, will I be opening up the
resources on the DLINK side to the entire corporate LAN? (or will they remain
hidden behind the firewall)

2) Does VPN-PC1 need to be on at all times once I set up a bridge? For the
resources behind the DLINK router, I'd like them to work (connect to the
Internet, see the shares on their side etc.) without having to keep VPN-PC1
turned on.

3) Since the DLINK assigns IPS at 192.168.0.1+, will that change once I
enable the bridge, or will those resources still have the same range? I'd
prefer not giving IPs in the same range as the corporate VPN IPs.

Thanks for any input.
