The VPN is a Cisco UPN IPSEC protocol.

Are you using the Cisco VPN Client in Windows? Or are you attempting to
set up a site-to-site IPsec VPN [presumably the former]. If it's the VPN
client, click Log > Log Window and see if any error messages appear. You
may want to turn up the logging [Log > Log Settings] but I reckon the
more verbose output would just be more confusing. You could of course get
her to email the log output to her IT people at work.

However, in my office it works fine connected to BT ADSL via a Netgear
DG834G modem/router - didn't need to change any settings.

What is the network address locally and remotely? If they're the same [eg
both 192.168.1.0/24] then you may well stuggle to get things working.

Her IT helpdesk suggested looking at 'UPN 500 and 1001' - are these
ports?

Probably UDP/500 and UDP/1001, ie protocol/port numbers.
