Help - problem with Netopia Router

    Hi. I am trying to access a pc on a LAN behind a Netopia 33347wg ADSL router. My wife wants to connect to her pc in work. I would like all traffic from a specific external IP (our home PC) to be routed to the specific local address of her work PC. It's a small office 4 XP Pro PCs connected to the Internet via the Netopia router. She has the router's admin password. I have looked at "Nat Default Host", "Port forwarding" and "IP passtrough" but they all seem to leave her work PC vulnerable to outside attack. Anyone any ideas?

    Thanks.

    I don't think its possible to forward ports based on IP orgination address.

    If you want to allow secure connections, why not just setup a VPN? I'm no expert but everything should be tunneled through those ports that VPN use, and you aren't raising the attack signature of your wife's machine too much either.

    It proably will take a bit of work to do but everyone loves a challenge don't they? :D
