Help setting up an access to my pc

Hi everyone,

I want to be able to access my pc from anywhere and I am trying to do 2
things: a) get access via a port forwarding and using dyndns; b) establish a
VPN connection.

I have a AVR-8000 DSL modem/router (1 port) that is connected to a Netgear
FVS318.

My problems are:
Option a) seems to be working but when I access my computer, I asm asked for
the dsl modem/router password and then it takes me to the dsl modem/router
configuration. My netgear router allows me to introduce the DSL password and
username, should I be able to let the router connect via the modem (which
now will be just a modem device) or should I try to forward from the
modem/router to the netgear router and then to the PC?

Option b) my netgear router apparently supports vpn, but I am not sure how
to make it. would I be able to access my network from anywhere or will I
need a special VPN client software?

Thanks in advance guys.

You should ge a free logmein account
and you won't have to worry about opening ports or having a static I.P. and
it works really well with 256 bit encryption.
Go to http://logmein.com and try it out.

Thanks,
Bruce
