LINKSYS VPN Client and RV016 Router connection issue

I have a LINKSYS RV016 in my office which the subnet is 192.168.30.x. I have connected with that router two remote offices ( gateway to gateway ) and those connections are working good. The problem is when I try to connect from home where I have a Microsoft MN-700 router and subnet 192.168.60.x using the LINKSYS VPN client: I get a message from the client software that says "Verifiyng the Network" for a few minutes - No resources can be accessed on the office network - and then I'm disconnected. But if I connect the home ADSL modem directly to my computer I can connect to the office ( RV016 ) and see all resources on the company network. So I'm thinking that the problem resides on my home MN-700 router but I cannot see where exactly. I've tried also to do the same thing using another router in home ( Linksys WRT54GS ) and got same problem. Does anyone know how could I fix the problem ?

Thanks,

Another option I forgot is the local/home and office subnets have to be different. Perhaps the modem is assigning an IP from a different subnet, explaining why it works. If for example the WRT54GS and the MN-700 are both using a LAN subnet of 192.168.1.x and so is your office, try changing the home router to something like 192.168.2.x

Mario, were you able to gain access with the QuickVPN client?
