If your router does not have what giltjr is talking about you can forward port 1743

here's my other question the wireless router is at my house in texas and im in chicago and i dotn have a server at home will this work anyway or do i need a server for vpn??
Yes you do. The WRT54GS is just a router, it does not have the ability to be a VPN sever.
However, do you just have one computer that you want to connect to at your home? If so, then if you are running Windows I would look at using Remote Desktop or VNC. If you do this, then there is other changes that need to be made to the WRT54GS as you will need to configure it to allow inbound connection to your computer.

PowerIT is correct, remote desktop does allow coping of files.
If you don't want to do that, then what I would suggest is installing a free FTP sever that supports either SSH FTP or SSL'ed FTP and then getting a free FTP client that supports the same. That is much easier than setting up a VPN, but not as easy as using remote desktop.
