With a single IP address, your dual-homed PC attached to your DSL box
has to be doing some kind of NAT - right?  Is it acting as a proxying
firewall?  In short, how are you connecting multiple computers to the
Internet via one IP address before introducing this laptop?

Is the dual-homed PC acting as a firewall or a gateway?  Does it let
all IP through without change?  [I doubt it.]

How does your laptop authenticate itself to your VPN?  I have no
knowledge of what Altiga does.

More information is needed, I think.
