Answer : Problem: Cannot access any drives after connecting through VPN

Reading the Netgear site I suspect I have found the problem. According to the link below the WGR614 does  not support VPN pass through. Making a basic connection is sometimes possible, as it uses basic TCP/IP. However, for data to pass, it requires GRE the PPTP encryption protocol, to pass. If the router is not configured for that or capable of PPTP pass-trough, the VPN cannot be made to work. I suspect you will need to look at another model of router.

If considering a new router you might want to consider a true VPN router rather than one with VPN pas-through capabilities. This will use IPSec which is more secure, and requires no port forwarding. Netgear have several available such as the FSV318.
