Thx Tim.
I dont need wireless as my pc is next to the router, but if you can turn it
off, i might as well get the wireless version now for resale value later.

If you haven't actually bought it yet, I got mine from Amazon
(http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/...638169-4771860)
for £66.89 a week back - the cheapest price I could find, plus free
delivery.

Thanks for that, ill use amazon.
Any idea where i might find help for specifically setting up a VPN
connection between 2 of these models?. A firend has one of these and id
like to give it a go.
I keep reading about people using IPSec or PPTP etc but ive no idea what
they mean.

You may need to upgrade the firmware to get VPN functionality. It's easy enough
to do.
I've not used the VPN tools in it yet so can't advise there.
Have a look at http://www.webopedia.com for VPN, PPTP and IPSec, it will explain
what they mean.

Does this latest firmware VPN stuff allow you to set the router up as a VPN
server that would allow the built-in XP client to connect?
I have no problems using VPN passthrough on the router to a XP box running
its VPN server software, but I'd like to be able to connect without having
PCs on the local network on too (so when I'm away I can VPN in and check
mail on my ISP etc without burning up loads of electricity).

Have you tried visiting most ISP's webmail sites using a PDA?

I would use a POP3 client for email. Webmail is for backpackers.
but that aside, how is having a VPN connection to a router going to
help ? you said you didn't want the PC on, so from what you have said
all you would get is a VPN tunnel to a router which gives you a
different IP address but you're still left holding a PDA

Means sending usernames and passwords over unencrypted wireless connections.
Maybe I don't fully understand how it works then, but I had assumed I would
be assigned an IP address for my home network, and could then browse the
web, connect to email etc, all using that connection, which is then securely
sent back to wherever I am.
That's certainly how it works using an actual XP machine as the VPN server.

not if you use SSL email auth encryption.
a VPN or ssh access into a router would leave you looking at a Linux
prompt or at best the router GUI.
even if it did what you want, you are still left looking at a web
broswer on the PDA which you have already discounted for accessing the
webmail, so I don't see what (apart from possible security issues) you
gain by routing your connectivity in this way.
in this case are you not just looking at the screen of the XP machine
remotely on the PDA ? ie you become a remote user of XP, whereas with
your idea you become a remote user of the router.

Yes I know, but that's not an option.
No, the VPN connection would allow me to use normal pop3 using the PDA's
email client, but tunnelled over the VPN back to the router (so no wireless
sniffing), and from there back to ISP. Ok, so it's not encrypted for the
last leg of the journey, but then it never is.
No, you are assigned an IP address by XP. Everything else remains the same.
I'd just assumed the router would do the same. Give me an IP
address...nothing more.

And the other reason is some ISPs don't let you send email unless you're
connected to their network. ESMTP scares them or something...

No.
It apparently connects to some VPN clients (notably the Netgear one
which costs money - what a surprise!) but not, as far as I can tell,
to the built in XP/2K one.

That sounds about right. I've not been able to establish an inbound
VPN using the XP built in one. As the router itself is unable to
terminate VPN connections it has to passthru any inbound VPN
connections to an end point, hence the Netgear VPN client (I've not
been able to get anything else to work).
It's worth remembering that the DG834G is essentially a domestic
router so the ability to terminate inbound VPN's is hardly a core
requirement of its target market. If this is a requirement of the OP
then the tool is less than ideal for the job.
