I will reply one last time since my original reply was a bit incoherent
You say you can connect to your server (203.1.96.6) ok and l assume
you can login to your server from your laptop (203.1.96.3). this means your PPP
connection
is fine. But your Gateway (203.1.96.5) can't see your laptop on the interface
for
your local lan because it is not there, you have your laptop on another network
interface.
So you need to add a route to your Gateway so your laptop can be found.
route add laptop (your destination) server (your gateway for your PPP network).
