Question : VPN - help!

As a result of Hurricane Katrina, we are changing our office setup (file access and backup). As I am kind of new to this stuff, I really need some help (step by step, if possible).

This is what I have done:
   I have setup Small Business Server 2003 as a file server/exchange server.  We have purchased laptops for our employees with the thought that they could work away from the regular office (we are in our 3rd temporary space).  

This is what I would like to do:
I would like to set up VPN connections so they could work from home or somewhere else and connect to the SMS2003 machine to access their files.  This way the files would be on the central server.  
Our network runs through a linksys wireless router with firewall activated.  The SBS2003 server is acting as the DHCP provider through a single TCPIP connection.  

I believe this is what I need to know:
Do I set up the VPN through the router or through the SBS2003 server?
If through the router, how do I get to the server?
If through the server, how do I get through the router?

I am sure that there is more that I need to do and I would appreciate any help you could offer to make this work.

Answer : VPN - help!

Yes, its that screen.  On each screen of the wizard there's a MORE INFORMATION button.  You should click it to see a detailed description of what each step of the wizard does.

I am more than happy to provide assistance through EE.  However, direct off-line consulting is what I do for a living.  Since EE prohibits the solicitation of any kind of off-line relationship (even when it solicited by the ASKER -- which is kinda silly if you ask me).  So I can only point you to my profile for more info and email address.

I can tell you that IN GENERAL consultants charge about $120.00/hour.  I'm a fairly general kinda person.
