Dunno about VPN - that depends on the image. DHCP server? Sure.
NAT? Sure. DHCP client? Never done it, but if you delete the
default route and go

int ethx/y
  ip address dhcp

Then it may work!

You should start by at least browsing the 26xx IOS 12.2 documentation
on the Cisco website. GOing via google and help forums is another way,
but you probably won't learn much.
