rvs4000 behind adsl modem/router, port forwarding required?

Hi,

I have a linksys rvs4000 behind a siemens 4200 adsl modem/router. I've been trying to establish a connection from home to the rvs4000 @ work. This used to work perfectly when i used cable modem, but seen i swap over to ADSL, it doesn't work anymore.

Do i need to configure the siemens 4200 adsl modem/router to forward any particular ports to the RVS4000 i have @ home?

Any help would be much appreciated.

You trying to setup a VPN tunnel from your home to your work?

yes that's what i am trying to do

@ work

cable modem -> RVS4000

@ Home

Siemens 4200 adsl router/modem -> RVS4000

When both site uses cable as internet connection, the VPN IPSEC worked fine.
Now it doesn't work anymore, i don't know why.

Is the Siemens 4200 setup in bridge mode to have the RVS4000 as the DHCP router?

nope, the siemens has a DHCP server in itself, it assign the IP to the rvs4000 WLAN port, then from there the RVS4000 assign the IPs to the pcs.

Do i need to do that?
