VPN setup issue

[Dave Mc]

I am trying to connect our lan to another remote lan thru a Netopia router to
router vpn. I can only get everything to work if I change the gateway on my
lan to the the internal ip address of the router at this end. I don't want
to do this because we already have another router as a gateway for internet
access. Do I need to add a static route for traffic which comes in from the
remote lan so that our client workstations do not use the default gateway for
"vpn" traffic ?? If so, can you give me a generic format to do this ??
Thanks

I've never had this setup, but I need to set up a route each time I log into
my VPN because I don't want that VPN to be my default route (a checkbox that
you'll see under TCPIP properties when configuring the connection) (in other
words, I want to keep my internet connection as the default route)

route add <VPN traffic IP> mask <netmask> <gateway>

For me, I use
route add 10.50.0.0 mask 255.255.0.0 10.50.208.11
