How to use route command on SuSE & Cygwin

If I'm at a wireless cafe running SuSE and I want to read my mail but the wireless cafe blocks port 25 for smtp but I have a VPN connection to my home machine, how do I use the "route" command.

If I'm at home on my windows machine and have a VPN connection to another network, can I use the cygwin route command to access a web site under a different IP?

I notice that when I try to browse my own web site (that I am serving), I cannot specify my WAN address. I have to specify my LAN address. Of course, putting LAN addresses in my links is not very effective for anyone outside my LAN!

But if I had a VPN to another network and could come in from that network, that would solve my problem!

Thanks,
Siegfried
