If you can't make it work any other way, why not try this? It accomplishes your goals, although it may not be as "techie" as you'd like.
Need to download to verify but looks to me like they are acting as a gateway/portal which means you are passing your traffic thru them. Not sure if I'm entirely comfortable with that idea.

They also seem to have some screwiness going on with their client/server. http://community.logmein.com/logmein/board?board.id=48

There is nothing really Techie about what he is trying to do. 90% of the time this stuff works out of the box. The times it does not can be a bit trying.

Had a similar issue with 2 of my linux web servers. No one in my group had issues with box 1, but for some reason box 2 was only accessible from my laptop. Could not hit it from any of the other 6 or so boxes that could hit server 1.

Both servers are identical hardware running the same version of SUSE.

We got it worked out but it took a bit.
