200R / Symantec Enterprise VPN Client Routing Issue

I am trying to connect my home Laptop over Wireless card using the Symantec Enterprise Client, to the Symantec 200R at work. (You should understand that both are very limited regarding their configurability.)

I have a firewall at work with passthrough translation of my server IP addresses to the 200R's local subnet.

The problem is that the wireless access point is the same address range as my servers, so instead of the traffic being routed back to my vpn, it is routed inside the 2nd firewall's network and never reaches me (I can't change this subnet due to many factors).

I know I can fix this by simply changing the subnet of the wireless access point, however my real concern is being able to connect from a hotel or other wireless source that I cannot control.

Can anyone suggest a workaround to this problem? What I would need is either some kind of software on my laptop to translate between a fake subnet for the Symantic Enterprise VPN Client and the real subnet of the wireless, or some kind of address/port translator appliance inside the vpn so my servers don't think the traffic is from inside the 2nd firewall.
