VPN Connection via Linksys Router

Hello Everyone,

I just set up a wireless network at my house, but have encountered an annoying problem. My mum sometimes works from home and uses a VPN to do so. Her IT department have given her a Linksys BEFSX41 ver. 2 Router to connect through, this has now been replaced by a Wifi capable router.

She cannot connect to her work VPN since I have changed the router. Does this router have some special hardware to allow her access to the VPN? I have looked at the config. for it and I can't see anything that is obviously different from a standard router.

Just wondering where I can go with this, because I want to use wireless without it getting unplugged for her to do her work. Is it possible to connect the work router to a port on the wireless router and use it that way or will this cause implications of any sort?

Thanks,
Tom Kear
