Yup, I thought the PC was dead to. Luckily it survived and came back up after a VERY long hard reset. The router is dead as a door nail.


I feel for you.  I'm quite attached to my router.  

As far as routers with VPN support, the SMC7004FW and the Linksys BEFVP41 are the ones I found quick.  I didn't get too deep into the details. They both have intergrated 4-port hubs.

A quick search on Pricewatch found the Linksys product for $105US w/shipping and the SMC product for $92US w/shipping.

If you haven't already, you might want to check your ISPs policy on VPN usage.  My ISP requires the user to have a 'business grade' account to use VPN.
