Ok all here goes: I need a SIMPLE VPN solution for most of my clients.
Being new to VPNs I need things to be simple. All of my VPN needs seem
to focus on a clients access to a "home network."

My requirements are:

Relatively easy to setup and configure.
Easy to maintain
Inexpensive
Very Secure

What I want to accomplish:

Tunnel all traffic through VPN
Access network shares (Windows environments)

What I've tried:
OpenVPN (Not a linux guy so I gave up)
Linksys RV042 (I'm able to configure tunnels, but not able to access
shares)

I've played around with other software, Hamachi, and been very
impressed. The problem is I do not want to rely on a software
solution.

Thanks

But I've been using a really EASY TO USE and POWERFUL, cost effective
software solution worth checking out. It's called Zmesh. It's a
hybrid solution I've never seen before. The software is free and the
authentication service keeps the hardware overhead down from thousands
of dollars to something that is affordable. What you get for your
money is crazy -- for as little as $20-$30 / month. Tons of
functionality for very little cost. If you've seen, heard, or read
about: OpenVPN, Hamachi, WebEx, Ventrilo --- get ready for something
better than all of these. Wrapped into one nice little package --- **
Zmesh ** by Zullo Technologies is really amazing. Zmesh allows
users to build a completely encrypted vpn mesh with practically zero
configuration. Once you are in your own mesh, network shares, file
transfers, desktop sharing, voice chat, text chat, and video
conferencing is a breeze. Seriously, I live in NY, and my parents
live in FL - and I am able to help my DAD fix his computer with such
ease of use. I was able to configured his router remotely, and was
able to explain what we both were seeing on his screen in just a few
minutes. Zmesh is a serious online collaboration tool that blows away
other solutions that cost tons more money -- Zmesh is truly worth
checking out and right now they have 4 FREE Sponsored Meshes so you
can test drive the product: http://www.zullotech.com

If looking for hardware solution I suggest going ZyXEL:

ZyWALL P1 personnel firewall with VPN for each remote PC or Notebook.
ZyWALL 2 or 5 or 35 or 70 for HQ.

I think ZyXEL have all your requirments:
>Relatively easy to setup and configure.
> Easy to maintain
> Inexpensive
> Very Secure
