Look at www.linksys.com into they new knowledge base.
First follow the technical instructions link and read static-to-static
section. (In fact you can't use ANY -- just to specify remote secure
group as the opposite LAN, and the Securite Gateway as the opposite
WAN).

Then return to knowledge base and read answer # 356 (in advenced VPN
settings check the "NetBios Broadcast" option.
