My ISP has told me that a router will work with their Wireless ADSL. It is wireless because it has an antenna but it is not completely wireless because it plugs into my network card.

I have e-mailed them and asked if a router would work (I posted about that yesterday). They said it will work if the router is capable of a VPN connection.

The router that I have says "NAT and VPN passthrough". Is VPN passthrough the same thing as a VPN connection?

Kind of. You could have a VPN connection without the pass through, but what I think you are interested in is the VPN Passthrough feature. You'll definitely want VPN pass through if you have multiple PCs sharing the same IP address behind your router (NAT). You'll probably want the IPSec feature.
Other things you'll have to check.
Make sure the VPN server you want to connect to supports IPSec (usually they'll run two.. one for non-NAT and one for NAT).
Make sure you open the necessary ports on your firewall. This differs between VPN implementations, so try to get some details from whoever has setup the VPN server on what ports to open.
