My office has 3 pc's, xpsp2. Network setup static using Linksys WRT54G
router. I can setup 1 connection to remote into 1 pc, but can I setup to be
able to connect to 2 different pc's at my office? I have 2 employees that
want to work from home, each have own pc at home/office. Thanks.

One way is to open multiple ports on any router the PCs are behind...

Make sure you use *STRONG* passwords...

Alternatively you could setup a VPN or Secure Shell serve on your office LAN
so you can access all PCs through one hole in the router versus more than
one.
