Well, your link seems to have been cut off, but no matter. If your linksys is at the Home side, you should not need to do anything to your router to be able to establish a VPN in to work. You would want to enable NAT on the LinkSys if you were looking to go from work to home.

If that is the case, you will want to open up port 3389, have that forwarded to your desktop and you will be able to connect remotely.

I hope you find this post helpful. Please let me know if it was.

Regards,

Mark

I have a router at work & not at home. And far as VPN Client Software is conecerned...I do have Cisco VPN Client...or I think I can use Putty also(Correct me if I am wrong..) I was thinking of following the smae steps as LinkSys mentioned & then use Putty or Cisco Client to connect.
I have never done it so I might be wrong in the concept of understaniding VPN setup.
And as you wrote
"You would want to enable NAT on the LinkSys if you were looking to go from work to home.
If that is the case, you will want to open up port 3389, have that forwarded to your desktop and you will be able to connect remotely"
Since I am connecting from home to work; I assume this is not applicable in my case...
Thanks...a lot
Can you give some lead to it ....Thanks
