Linksys RV042 and VPN3000

[heavyj]

I just purchased a Linksys RV042 with the idea that I could use this to create a VPN tunnel to my office - which has a VPN3000. At home my cable modem connects to the RV042. I would like all of my systems but one to have direct connectivity to the internet. I would like ONE system at my home to utilize the VPN tunnel to my office. Is this possible?

My internal address space is 192.168.100.0. I'd like a VPN tunnel to be lets say on the 10.10.0.0 address space. I was hoping that I could set static IP address info for tthis one device to something in the 10.10.0.0 address space with a defualt router in the 10.10.0.0 and the RV042 would just know that traffic is bound to the VPN tunnel, while the rest of the traffic is direct not thru the tunnel.

Is this even possible?

thanks!

From what I gather you want one of your computers to maintain a VPN link to the office. And the rest of the computers would go their happy way with using the internet.

This type of setup can be accomplished with a normal router and requires you to use VPN client software on the computer. Using the Windows VPN Client you would connect to your offices' network. That computer would only work with the office because of the VPN tunnel. But the rest of the computers would be unaffected and would still use the internet like normal.

So your RV042 isn't necessary. I believe that it would be if you wanted both LANs to fully communicate with each other.

I'm not sure if I'm getting this right, so don't take me too seriously.

yeah - but - the "computer" i want to connect to the office is a stateless device without an operating system. It's a Ultra Thin Client - so there is no client software that will get loaded on that. I know just enuf to know that I need a VPN tunnel to get there - but I don't want to route ALL my internet traffic thru my VPN tunnel - just this one device.

I'm told that the Cisco SOHO 91 might be my ticket - but I was wanting to see if the RV042 would do what I'm talking about. Finding good info about the RV042 is hard to come by it seems or I am looking in the wrong places..
