One more VPN client problem! Please help!

Please, help me to find the right decision of this problem!
Situation:
[W2K3 (VPN+WINS) +W2K(DC +DNS)+rest network] - Linksys (DHCP, 192.168.1.1) -
Cable Internet. VPN works, so we started to organize client connection and
found a huge problem: 90% of all our clients have routers and the same
192.168.1.x addresses in their home network. When they connect to VPN they
get two interfaces in the same subnet and of course they cannot ping and
browse our network. I can allocate the IP addresses for VPN client from
different subnet (for example 192.168.2.x) but it cannot solve the problem
because they still have interface with 192.168.1.x. Yes, I can tell them
how to change router's setup but maybe it's better way to change the IP
address of our network? Something like 10.0.0.x or 192.168.5.x? Is it
possible to change DC ip address without DNS problem? Is their a better way
to resolve this problem. I feel like I missed something. Thank you very much
for any help.

Hi LB,
If it is possible change your network to different subnet and also allocate
IP addresses from the same subnet to VPN clients.

Thanks,
