With an operational VPN, your PC end is IP-tunneled to the LinkSys.

So, you establish a tunnel properly, and then everything you do on the PC (network-wise) is routed through the tunnel to the LinkSys.

So, you should be able to just open the web browser on the PC and get your favorite web page. Your web request from the PC travels through the tunnel to the LinkSys, and then the LinkSys forwards the web request across its Internet connection to the web site.

Sounds like you are authenticating properly to the LinkSys but something is not configured right to actually establish the IP tunnel.
