Sorry for so much infomation, I tried to keep it to the bare essentials. Please if anyone has any ideas, clues or some really good white papers dealing with VPN Routers and ADSL Router connectivity, just post them.

Thanks.

Jester18,
I do not have any experience with the Netgear product line but I have setup quit a few tunnels using linksys gear.
One flag that I see is that you have a dynamic address from your ISP on both sides. Typically with VPN tunnels one side is the initiator and the other the recipient. If both sides are dynamic how can you establish a connection if you do not know what IP to point to.
I usually get a static IP at my locations and set the the remote locaion as the initiator of the tunnel. In other words the router at the remote location is set to connect to the IP/Router at the home office.
The static is not necessary at the remote office becuase you can setup the tunnel at the home office to accept from any IP but I like having the statics for remote management purposes.
Hope this helps
