I have 4 offices linked together with 4 BEFVP41 routers and everything runs
just fine. Each office has a static IP. Now I need to add 5th office, which
has DSL but with a dynamic IP and a Belkin wireless router. I created the
IPsec policy according to the instructions given. I put the computer in the
DMZ and I still can't share printers or establish any sort of connection.
The VPN connection is established. I get the "ESP tunnel successfully
created....." message so what I am wondering is what is missing? Any help
would be greatly appreciated.

What is the point of the VPN if the computer is in the DMZ? That defies the
definition of a DMZ. No security.
Also, since the IP is dynamic, I suggest getting a DDNS service, like
dyndns.org. and running the directupdate client in case the IP ever changes.
BTW... I'm running a Belkin 54G with this setup but I'm not allowing any VPN
connectivity.

BTW... I took out the irrelevant NGs.
