Cable Forum - View Single Post - VPN router

I am a newbie to the forum and wanted some advice.
I have a Virgin Media (Telewest ) boradband service terminated upon a cable modem ( Webstar). I presently use a Netgear wireless router WGT624 V3, which work fine over wireless but doesnt support VPN.

I want to access my local network from anywhere using an IPSec VPN and want a router to authenticate upon. Firstly is this possible and how do I obtain a fixed public IP address to point the client software at? I seem to have a constant IP address on my Netgear when looking at the Internet port.

I also want a reliable wireless router, preferably a Linksys one. Recommendations ?
