VPN Setup problems on a Linksys RV042

This is my first time setting up VPN, and i got a RV042 to let others outside our office remote into the network. I got the unit and tried setting up the VPN. I have a user in the VPN client access and i even set up pptp with the same users. however it never seems to work. depending on what method i use i get different errors:

IKEv2 gives me Error 809: The network connection between your computer and the VPN server could not be established because the remote server is not responding. This could be because one of the network devices (e.g. firewalls, NAT, routers, etc) between your computer and the remote server is not configured to allow VPN connections. Please contact your administrator or your service provider to determine which device may be causing the problem.

Problem is that VPN pass through is set on the router between me and the router i am VPNing into.

PPTP gives me Error 628: The connection was terminated by the remote computer before it could be completed.

L2TP gives me the same 809 error

SSTP gives me Error 0x800B010F: The certificate's CN name does not match the passed value. I got that after using mmc and certificates after downloading the client certificate. The admin cert wont even import.

I am using the Setup a Virtual Private Network (VPN) connection that is part of windows 7

Any ideas what i am doing wrong or how i can make it work?
