What is it with VPN today, everyone is having problems:

To be honest I don't know if it can be done using shared internet connections on PCs. You might want to try:
The first question, can you new main PC get a VPN connection. If it can that rules out any issues between it and the internet. If it cannot, that's going to be the first thing to sort.
Are there any firewalls running on your main PC, you'd need to permit VPN passthrough.
I hate to say it, but can't resist, this might be where just having a router would be the simple way to do it.

Wouldn't have thought that was it. After all I'm behind a router here that issues private IPs to the PCs, with public IP issued to the STB/router by the NTL network.
