It would probably help to use something other than 192.168.0.* for the VPN 
link itself. Try 192.168.234.[12] for the link ends. Windows in particular 
gets confused if you have (for example) some of 192.168.0.* on a LAN and 
other parts non-local because it tries to take short-cuts and gets it wrong. 
LJBC ran into this.
