VPN client can't connect to tunnel

Here is the scenario:

Private Network - Domain controller handing out DHCP addresses - NetGear VPN Firewall SRX5308 -
Prior to the Firewall install the Domain Controller used the IP (10.10.1.1) of the DSL modem as default gateway and everything worked fine.

When connection the Netgear, have to connect DSL modem to WAN1 to get address. It couldn't get an address until I turned on DHCP on the modem.

Here is how it is configured - NetGear SRX5308 is 10.10.1.1 (still the default gateway for the network). DHCP issued ip of 192.168.2.2 for LAN side of Netgear (DSL modem is 192.168.2.1)

After much trouble added DDNS name to netgear. I can ping the name from a home internet connection and get a reply from 192.168.2.2, but when trying to connect to tunnel using Netgear Client all I get is "giving up on connection" message.

Am I overlooking something obvious? Any ideas?

Pretty much what I figured. When you say set modem to endpoint, Do i need static ip?
