Ok.
My home setup looks like this:

   Internet
    |_____|
        |
     Router (cisco soho77)
        |
    Firewall (OpenBSD)
        |
    Home computer

There is natting going on in both router and firewall
The router has a public ip adress, its also set to do port to port
forwarding.

At work there is a similar setup. but the setup works for people who are not
behind a firewall.
I, as all others use the standard Windows 2000 VPN client.

etc. etc. etc.
