Take a look at
http://www.iopus.com/ and under products see iPig. There
are both a local VPN server (iPig Server Express V2.06 Beta) you might
install on your Wireless PC and also a client (iPig V2.06 Client Beta) for
installation wherever you are located. If you install those then you will
be able to address the drive simply (and securely) as 192.168.1.253.
Let me know if you have any problem installing them. Other than forwarding
TCP port 11888 from Router 1 to the Wireless PC and also opening it in the
Wireless PC's firewall the thing needs no configuration. If you don't have
a fixed IP then get a free DynDNS account to locate the router while away.
