Question
Setting up Static Routes on Linksys
Hardware: Linksys 10/100 4-port VPN Router (RV042)
I have configured a VPN tunnel to another network.
The tunnel is configured to reach one specific IP address on the other network.
Via that other IP, I should be able to reach a second IP.
How do I set a static route on this router that will forward all traffic to the 2nd IP via the 1st IP (VPN).
Is this possible?

Yes, the static route config is shown step by step with diagram & testing.

Static Routing - 10/100 4-Port VPN Router:
ftp://ftp.linksys.com/pdf/
You will need to configure Static Routing if there are multiple routers installed on your network.
The static routing function determines the path that data follows over your network before and after it passes through the Router.
You can use static routing to allow different IP domain users to access the Internet through this device. This is an advanced feature. Please proceed with caution.
This Router is also capable of dynamic routing (see the Dynamic Routing tab). In many cases, it is better to use dynamic routing because the function will allow the Router to automatically adjust to physical changes in the network's layout. In order to use static routing, the Router's DHCP settings must be disabled.
To set up static routing, you should add routing entries in the Router's table that tell the device where to send all incoming packets. All of your network routers should direct the default route entry to the Linksys Router.
Enter the following data to create a static route entry:
1. Destination IP: Enter the network address of the remote LAN segment.
For a standard Class C IP domain, the network address is the first three fields of the Destination LAN IP, while the last field should be zero.
2. Subnet Mask: Enter the Subnet Mask used on the destination LAN IP domain.
For Class C IP domains, the Subnet Mask is 255.255.255.0.
3. Default Gateway: If this Router is used to connect your network to the Internet, then your gateway IP is the Router's IP Address.
If you have another router handling your network's Internet connection, enter the IP
Address of that router instead.
4. Hop Count (max. 15): This value gives the number of nodes that a data packet passes through before reaching its destination.
A node is any device on the network, such as switches, PCs, etc.
5. Interface: (LAN, WAN1, WAN2/DMZ) Interface tells you whether your network is on the LAN or the WAN, or the Internet. If you’re connecting to a sub-network, select LAN.
If you’re connecting to another network through the Internet, select WAN.
Click Add to list to add a route entry or click Delete Selected IP to delete the static route entry.
Click the Save Settings button to save the Routing settings, click the Cancel Changes button to undo your changes or click the Show Routing Table button to view the current routing table.

Well here is part of the answer, as I have had a 4 port Linksys router myself.
In order to configure the router with a static IP address, you will need the following information from your ISP:
IP address
Subnet Mask
Default Gateway
Domain Name Server (DNS) addresses
Access the Router's web based utility by typing http://192.168.1.1/into your web browser.
A password window will appear.
Leave username blank and enter the password as admin (all lowercase).
Click OK.
Once on the Setup page, go directly to the WAN IP Address or WAN Connection Type, and change the option from Obtain an IP address Automatically to Specify an IP Address.
Enter the IP Address, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway, and DNS you retrieved from your ISP.
Scroll down and click Apply.
If settings are successful, click Continue.
The Router is now set up for use with your provider and a static IP address.

Port forwarding is a method that allows you to run a server behind the router. Port Forwarding opens a specific port to a computer behind the router, allowing all Incoming Traffic on that port to be sent directly to that server. It should be used to setup servers behind the router, typically Port Triggering (Answer ID 344) is a better choice for non server applications (Such as instant messengers and game servers).
Below is an example of how to setup Port Forwarding. For our example we will be setting an FTP Server and a Mail Server that uses SMTP and POP3.
FTP uses ports: 20 and 21
SMTP uses port: 25
POP3 uses port: 110
Getting Started
1. You must set a static IP address on the server. If you're unsure of how to do this please go to Answer ID 534 for information on setting a static IP address in Windows.
2. Once the static IP address has been assigned please go to your desktop and double click on Internet Explorer (Located on the Start Menu in Windows XP)
3. Once "Internet Explorer" opens, please type http://192.168.1.1into the "Address Bar" and click GO
4. The "Enter Network Password" window will appear. Skip user name and type admin (admin is the default password) as the password, and click OK.
5. This will bring up the routers "Setup" section. Look under "Domain Name" and check what version of the firmware you're using.
6. You will need to click on the Advanced tab to the very right. Once the "Advanced" tab comes up please go to the Forwarding tab.
