   You can do both with a single static IP.   
      
   To setup client to gateway you will need some Client software on PC's   
   that can build the tunnel.  I have not done this with that model though   
   you should be able to get most of the third party VPN clients to work.   
   Perhaps something like Safenet softremote.  I think some people have   
   used the Cisco client, or if you really like to suffer you can actually   
   configure the built in IPSEC features of Windows XP.   
      
   You should use the WAN 1 connection.  An interesting side note.  I tried   
   to use 2 internet connections to share bandwidth.  It slowed the   
   transfers way down.  Apparently the router is not very efficient at load   
   sharing between two connections.   
      
   You have to go to the firewall settings and change the remote management   
   port from port 80 to 8080 or disable it completely.  You should disable   
   it unless you absolutely need to be able to configure your router   
   remotely.  You really should only be configuring the router while on the   
   inside of your firewall and not from the outside of your firewall.  Not   
   only can a hacker use a brute force tool to guess the password on the   
   router, but if they can sniff your packets while you are connecting to   
   the router remotely then they can just grab the plain text password as   
   it is sent between your browser and the router.
