Sparky,

Have you tried bringing the VPN down on both ends, then pinging from Main Office to Remote Site? Then ping from Remote Site to Main Office? That way, you've narrowed the problem down to the VPN itself.

 

I think you are right, new kit is the best answer. Budget permiting, some cisco gear would do very nicely

The flexibilty and excellent debugs make troubleshooting so much easier than on kit like Netgear/Linksys/etc. Of course, the cost is higher, and that is a strong point in favour of units like Linksys for simple connections, but for businesses serious about solid reliability and flexibilty a good case can be made for more expensive gear.

I'm biased, as I enjoy working on Cisco kit, but it seems to pay for itself in terms of reliability and VPN options.

We recently did a WAN upgrade on a client company using 12 Cisco 2611's for WAN links, worked out very well and the 2611's can be had for a good price.
