I assume you are using your Linksys router as the VPN endpoint? The cable
modem can not be the VPN endpoint. If that is so try to ping the server you
are trying to remote into by it's lan IP address which would be 192.168....
something through the VPN tunnel from the other side over the internet. If
ping works, try to connect to the TS by it's IP address. If ping does not
work check your endpoint configuration on the Linksys device for tcp/ip in
that it should contain the subnet for your lan and allow all traffic if that
is what you want. If you are using an VPN endpoint device on the other side
of the tunnel, check it's connection also in that it is configured to allow
the correct traffic through the tunnel. --- Steve
