I have an iMac G4 and IBM laptop using Centrino. I have a DSL connection. When using a Linksys router, I can connect to my company VPN. However, if I use my Airport Extreme I cannot. Will VPN's will work using via Airport Extreme? If it is suppose to work, what should I try doing? There are no error messages coming. Just says connecting. What to do?

Your problem could be multiple NAT addresses. The Linksys is going to provide a 192.168.x.x range for devices connected to it. The Airport will take the 192.168.x.x from the Linksys and then provide a 10.x.x.x address to devices connected through it. The VPN may not like the multiple NAT'ed addresses, or the VPN server may be set to accept addresses from a 192.168.x.x range, but not a 10.x.x.x range.

I turned NAT off on my Airport, and just let my router assign addresses through the Airport. So all my computers have the 192.168.x.x addressing. Give that a try and see what happens.

You can do that or set up DMZ. That disables the NAT table in one of the routers, making your life a whole simpler.
