well, I don't know what you've maybe already done but I just list everything I can think of.
Make sure that your server accepts incomming calls. Have the server asign an ip address to all calling clients. Use the 10.0.0.10-10.0.0.20 range. Make sure that all clients have a username and password dial-in account on the server. Choose the preferable security settings.
On all clients make sure that they're logged on to windows with the same user name and password as the dial in account on the server. All clients will automatically accept an ip address. Make sure the client security settings are matching to the server.
You havn't told us the error message you're getting. Can you ping all the PCs to and from? Are you using domain? Workgroup? AHHHHHH

If you are still looking for an answer,the best one I can give is I have used a Linksys BEFVP41 routers with built in VPNs. I have the same setup and that is what I use. And they are real easy to setup. The tech support is great and the VPNs are priced right (132.36) or you can possibly find them cheaper. The VPN has a builtin hardware tunnel. If you need more info you can e-mail me at currera501@aol.com

P.S. also very secure due to hardware driven firewalls.No software needed.
