Here is my setup:
2 offices, each with public IP address (fixed).
Linksys BEFVP41 as firewall at each office.
VPN tunnel OK between the 2 offices - no problem.
Now I want to be able to connect to either office from home.
At home I have XP pro/Sp2 - behind a Nat cable router.
I have looked at the Linksys documentation, but it assumes that the XP machine is "on the net".
How do I change it to work behind the Nat, and then also I will need the XP machine to initiate the tunnel, not the BEFVP41?
Then, what do I need to do after this - do I need a new "network connection"? - or some sort of VPN client?
Thanks for any advice.
