Thank you Klazmon for the clarification, this is all strange to me, but I
am feeling like I WILL get it working, and then I can help others how to
do it too in the future. Ok I am only going to set up the UDP port and
port forwarding and such on my hardware router, I will not alter my
router's LAN and subnet mask settings. Thanksgiving today, so I will work
more on setting up the VPN later today and tomorrow. Thanks all for the
help thus far!
