You've done a great job of locating where the problem is. It's probably in the router configuration. Unfortunately without knowledge of what VPN solution your company provides it's difficult to pinpoint exactly what needs to change. Oftentimes (as is the case with my corporate employer), the VPN solution does not handle NAT'd addresses very well to establish the connections. I would need to understand how your router is set up to help you figure this out.
The most common problems with the router configuration for home office is the built-in firewall or non-transparent addressing capabilities. I would check to make sure that the firewall is not blocking the connections and also ensure that it handles transparent addressing. This greatly depends on the router, its capabilities, and platform as to what it does and does not support.
