vpn can connect, can't reach hosts

Hi all, I'm a vpn newbie. I'm using pptpconfig to connect
via suse 9.3 - which seems to use the standard pptp that comes with the
disto, and I get this message:

Using interface ppp0pptpconfig: monitoring interface ppp0

Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/pts/4
MPPE 128-bit stateless compression enabled
local IP address 192.168.2.106
remote IP address 192.168.2.101
pptpconfig: pppd process exit status 0 (started)
ip route replace 24.199.x.x via 200.157.x.x dev eth0 src 200.157.x.x
pptpconfig: routes added to remote networks
pptpconfig: usepeerdns was set, but /{var/run,etc}/ppp/resolv.conf was
not readable
pptpconfig: connected

ifconfig shows:

ppp0 Link encap:Point-to-Point Protocol

However, I cannot ping or nmap host 192.168.2.93 , which is indeed a
live host. A fellow windows user says he can ping it. One detail: I
did not supply a domain name as I don't know it yet - waiting for an
answer - but perhaps that is just for authenctication which I
apearently can do. The vpn server is most likely windows - everything
this company does is.

Please help!

So what does the output of '/sbin/route -n' look like after
connecting?

Thanks for the reply Jacob:

/root> /sbin/route -n
Kernel IP routing table

Where 10.101.44.1 is the local non-vpn gateway.

Thanks!

Yes, I needed to change the routing and then everthing worked:

route del default gw 10.101.45.1
route add default gw 192.168.2.101

Thanks,
