VPN ? for anyone who can help???

| Hello All,
First I would like to say I have been messin with VPN configurations
for the past 4-5 weeks. I have tried every configuration in the
book. Well I think I have. First I want to start off with the HW.
--Server Windows 2003 Server Enterprise with 2 NIC cards.
--Linksys RV042 VPN router
--Cable Modem with a dynamic IP well its pretty static.
So with all this HW I would like to setup a VPN server to accept
connections from the outside world to do work on the local network
and use local resources. The one problem that I face is I would want
the person who is connecting to the local network to use there
connection to get to the internet, but be able to access local
resources, meaning hard disks, etc. I hope you guys can point me in
the right direction. Like I said I have been at this forever, so if
you can let me know how to do this that would be great. Also I am on
a 192.168.100.x and a 192.168.200.x networks with 2 types of routers
if you needed to know that too.

Split-Tunnelling
Question:
- Do you want to force the users to surf the internet via your
network / proxy , or surf the internet via their connection ?
Either way, Split-Tunnelling is how you do it; Be careful though,
if you setup a secure tunnel to your network and allow the remote
user access to the internet; You are potentially opening a hole.

I am not familiar with the hardware you are using, but somewhere you
have to configure the following:
1 Local hosts or networks that need to be accesses by the remote site
2 Local hosts or networks that can route traffic to the remote site
For example:
LOCAL CONFIG
Local network 192.168.0.0/24 ----------> Remote network 192.168.1.0/24
REMOTE CONFIG:
local network 192.168.1.0 -----------> Remote network 192.168.0.0/24
These must be the internal addresses an be EXACT mirrors images.
When my VPN router sees I am sending data from a network address within
the 192.168.0.0/24 address space AND destined to an address in the
192.168.1.0/24 network it will send it over the VPN tunnel. If the
destination address is other that the remote network you have defined,
the traffic should be routed through your/their ISP. I think the bottom
line is that if you avoid using 0.0.0.0 for your local and remote
networks, you should get what you are after by default.
