I think your missing the point. A corporate office will require you to access a VPN connection to access local resources such as file shares, databases, web services, printer etc... A VPN is Virtual Private Network. It allows you be be on the offices local area network while not physically being in the office. This is done by creating a secure and encrypted tunnel between a virtual created network interface on your computer and the VPN server at the office which will assign you a private IP and apply firewall polices that will allow only you to access certain internal resources.
When accessing a home network from the internet, this is not needed. While some people may utilize a home network this way for security purposes, this is by far not the norm and it not used by standard home users. So you do not have a VPN server and the RT300 is not a VPN server.
So the question is this. Do you have more then 1 PC in your house? If so, can you access the PC hosting the Remote Desktop connection or VNC from the other PC on the same LAN? If not, you don't have these services set up on your PC and before you can access them from outside your LAN, they need to be set up and tested from inside your LAN.
If your only trying you access files, you can set up a basic home user VPN connection called Hamachi. It is free. You install it on the computer acting as the server and create a network name. Then you install it on the client PC and join the network you created. You can then use the server IP from the clent PC to access anything such as file shares, Remote Desktop, VNC, printers, hosting game server, etc... just as if you were on a PC connected to your LAN. Using this method does not require any Port Forwarding in the router since the Hamachi client creates a tunnel. This is fairly simple to set up but still may be difficult for a basic user.
