Problem Solved! I took the advice and downloaded TightVNC from the web.
Installed with NO problem and works like a champ. I can now access my
network from the road and do everything I wanted. I would certainly
reccomend this solution to anyone who is tired of fighting the "Netgear
Battle". Maybe not as cool as a real VPN, but it works!!
