Windows 2000 VPN - Change IP Address

I have set up a VPN connection between a Linux FreeS/WAN box and Windows 2000 using X509 certificates, but I was wondering if it's possible to give the Windows box a different IP address on the network we connect to?

As it is now, the Windows box keeps it's own IP address and that is not what we want since some box on our network might have that IP address. Under Linux you can do this though some iptables rules, but for w2k?

I have lots of experience with this under Linux, but close to none under Windows, so I need some help. Anyone?
 
Im not entirely sure if this is what you are looking for.
If you use Active Directory, you can assign a user a specific IP under the user's account properties sheet.
Remember, you arent assigning it to a box, just to the user. Any box the user logs onto with that account will pull that IP.
I use it for VPN and RRAS.
 
We don't use Active Directory. It's mostly a UNIX network where people at home can access the internal servers from their homes, but at home their LAN cards have all sorts of different IP addresses. We want to map a specific user to a specific IP address when he logs in.
