VPN with SBS 2003 (not R2) and DSL (Part Two)

For those who did not read my first attempt at this I have the
following:
1 SBS2003 Server, with one NIC (Really two acting as one, see previous
post for more information on this).
1 DSL Modem
1 Netgear managed switch - 10/100 with four 1Gb ports
1 Netgear unmanaged switch - 16 1Gb ports.
The current layout is:
[Managed switch]
| \----[Win XP (Earth)]
|
[Unmanaged switch]
| \ \ \---[SBS 3003 (Sol)]
{inTRAnet} \ \
| \ \---[File Server]
[DSL modem] \
| \---[Archiver]
{inTERnet}
|
[Remote PC (Pluto)]
I guess I am not quite done trying VPN after all.
Some research has revealed the the service provider was not providing
all the Up we were paying for, as a result of some "discussions" we
now have an opportunity to try again.
I can modify the network described above so it looks like this:
[Managed switch]
| \----[Win XP (Earth)]
|
[Unmanaged switch]
| \ \ \---[SBS 3003 (Sol)]
[Linksys \ \
WRT54G] \ \---[File Server (Jupiter)]
| \
{inTRAnet} \---[Archiver (Saturn)]
|
[DSL modem]
|
{inTERnet}
|
[Remote PC (Pluto)]
I located a Linksys router which can be used to route, instead of the
modem, if that assists in the setup of the network.
(By the way we are not restricted to either the DSL modem or the
Linksys Router. I have convinced the company that it might be a good
idea to replace them both and I found one item that would replace both
of them:

This would give me this layout:
[Managed switch]
| \----[Win XP (Earth)]
|
[Unmanaged switch]
| \ \ \---[SBS 3003 (Sol)]
{inTRAnet} \ \
| \ \---[File Server]
[Netgear \
DSL/Router] \---[Archiver]
|
{inTERnet}
|
[Remote PC (Pluto)]
Any recommendations?)
So, here we go again folks... What I would like to know is which way
is the better way to setup the VPN, Linksys or no Linksys, and how do
I do it? I ask that the steps you show me are something that someone
who has yet to do this successfully can follow.
Please keep in mind that after following both wizards on the server
(Internet Connection Wizard and Remote Access Wizard) and running the
"Connect to Small Business Server" we are asked for User/Pass/Domain,
we enter them and are told that we have successfully connected. 3m:
29s later the connection is severed. This is still happening, even
after the increase in up speed (from 320 to 608).
But I do not understand statements like "the NIC IP range on the
client side cannot be the same as the Intranet side but that the PPP
IP on the client side will." Partly because we have tried it both
Broadband and dialup and it makes no difference if the NIC is enabled
or not, etc., and yes each time the PPP IP has been in the same range
as the Internet addresses.
I am sure that someone besides myself will benefit from this kind of
guidance. I see requests for this sort of information in just about
every SBS forum I have looked in, but most of the time the requests
for help end in frustration from people either getting solutions that
did not work for them or because they did not understand the answer.
I have both of these handicaps right now. (Hey, at least I'm honest!
LOL)
