Can I access my broadband router from Tenerife using a laptop andnetwork card?

I'm off to Tenerife on holiday soon and I wish to take my HP Omnibook
XE3 containing a 3Com PCMCIA wireless notebook network card but can I
access my broadband 3Com OfficeConnect wireless router from abroad?

Through a VPN perhaps?

A genuine router can normally only be accessed on the internal, not external
side.

I have run across a webpage that did just that by planting a file to access
the router internally. Luckily, I changed the password when I installed the
router. And, became obvious to me when the router access TPC/IP screen
showed asking for the password.
