Net Meeting PC Anywhere thru router / firewall
I have a Linksys router connected between my Win 2000 machines and the DSL modem. I want to run PC Anywhere and Net Meeting thru the internet and thru my router. What must I do to configure the my router to allow this traffic. Obviously, My DSL modem Ip address is different from the DHCP assigned addresses coming out of the router. If I remove the router and connect direct to the DSL modem, i can easily access Net meeting and pc anywhere using the DSL modem's address. Dial-in modem always works. My router advanced config menu allows me to enable IPSEC and PPTP. could this help?

Home PC Firewall Guide - http://www.firewallguide.com
Many inexpensive routers have a VPN "feature" that
allows multiple client pass-thru sessions, but only one VPN session per VPN tunnel "terminator". This means that you can't connect multiple VPN clients simultaneously to the same
VPN server, but can connect only one client per VPN server.
