With the 871, consider using SDM to get the initial configuration set. Why? The 871 has 1 - layer 3 port (F4/connected to DSL/Cable modem), 4 - layer 2 switchports (F0-F3/desktop PC's), and 2 - wireless radios (A and G). SDM does a good job at creating a bridge-group (BVI1) that includes the layer 2 swichports and both wireless radios (which can share the same DHCP scope). Plus it creates the necessary virtual radio interfaces required for the bridge-group assignment and configuring a local radius server for authenticating wireless clients.
Also, SDM did a good (not great) job at configuring the IOS firewall feature set. i.e. ACL's

Thanks but before run the code you provided me i would know how to setup lets say the common configuration for RealVNC connections: and this will be a typical NON-CISCO scenario:
Outgoing:
PC(RealVNC Viewer) -> Netgear Router -> INTERNET
Incomming
INTERNET -> Netgear Router (forwards the requested 5100 port to the assigned Lan IP -> PC(RealVNC Server) It listen from the forwared port: 5100
