Thanks for the quick response.. I will get the info from
the site and will try it...

But.. with pptp do I need to set up IPSEC? Linksys "guru"
said that I did but doesn;t make sense to me.

One last.. I run cable from modem to the server 1st nic,
test internet connect and if ok then run cable from second
nic on server to the router wan port?

Thanks
