With a site to site VPN you have to have DHCP on both ends.. If it is only a machine or two set them static.  DHCP is a broadcast protocol so it will not pass a VPN without a helper of some sort, like an expensive router/switch.

It is probably best to have different IP address subnets as well so you know which side the traffic is on and let the VPN do the routing.  This way each site uses it's own internet when it is not needing to talk to the other side.
