IPSEC config for VPN access

Hello all,
I have XP Home. I am trying to connect to a Linksys Router/VPN endpoint. I have seen that I need to configure IPSEC on my XP Home VPN client. I do not have the MMC snap-in and can’t seem to get it. I connect to six other VPNs w/o issue, but I definitely have an IPSEC problem with this new VPN endpoint. Anyone know how to get IPSEC set up on XP Home or have any more info on working with the WRV54G VPN? Any help is appreciated.
