VPN woes !

Hello there,
After advice on the forum I have networked 2 computers together using the ethernet ports and a crossover cable.
Please dont say anything about routers I just wanted the simplest and cheapest way possible.

Anyway.

The two computers are

1. My main computer....it is the one connected to the internet...everything fine!

2. The new work computer. It has 2 partitions. 1 for private use and one for work use that uses a VPN to connect to work.

On the new computer on the private part it connects to the internet just fine and everything goes swimmingly.
However on the other part...the work part... using the VPN it just does not connect.
I thought it would just be a case of getting the internet running and it would just go....(how daft of me)

Any ideas?
