Connecting a Public Network PC (Library) to a Private Network (Hom

I currently have a simple home-network, comprising a single laptop PC, a
wireless netgear router, and a verizon DSL modem. There is a Belkin "USB
Network Hub" connected to the router that can present any USB device to the
PC (e.g. a flash drive, etc.). The network is functioning correctly, the PC
can access the internet, and a flash-drive connected to the Belkin appears as
a drive on the PC.

I would like the same connectivity to my home network when I take my laptop
to a public network, such as my local library. Currently the only device
that is seen by the internet is the DSL modem (the Router looks like
192.168.1.47 to the Modem, and looks like 10.0.0.1 to the home network.

I initially used the modem configuration tools to set the router up as a DMZ
Host, and it then became directly visable to the internet with it's own
internet IP. I have since learned that setting up a VPN with Port-Forwarding
would be better, as the router would not need to been seen by the network. I
cancelled the DMZ-Host, and used the modem VPN port-forwarding tool, which
established three ports (5500, 5800, and 5900) into the router. On the PC I
setup a VPN connection set to the modem IP, however when I try to connect
(entering the username and password of the modem) it fails to connect. I
even tried the routers username and password and it also fails.

What have I leftout, did wrong, misunderstood, etc.

Any help would be appreciated.
