Connecting to Cisco Pix from my home network

Hi, I hope someone can point me in the right direction.

OK, at work we have a cisco pix firewall. I have a laptop that I use for work running windows 2000 and a home PC running windows Me. We are implementing remote vpn client access to the cisco pix and when I install it on my home PC I get an error saying that it is not compatible with internet connection sharing. I searched here and it did tell me how to disable this, but I'd like to get around it - i want to share the net connection.

What I want to be able to do is connect my home PC to the internet, plug my laptop into the network and connect to the vpn.

Are there any apps out there that will allow this.

Alternatively, I do have a third PC which is gathering a bit of dust - it is currently on red hat linux so I could use that as a gateway if there is some firewall software out there to connect it to a pix firewall.

Basically, I want only one of the pcs to connect to the internet but any of them to be able to access the vpn.

If anyone can point me in the direction of any info or applications I'd be grateful. I'm on a pretty tight budget so don't want to have to buy any software.

Thanks

Tony
