In regards to setting the proper default router (gateway), shouldn't the DHCP boot server, or maybe a router with a DHCP server, at the remote site do this?

Andre,
The only way I recommend setting up a remote office is to include a small boot server at the remote end. It just needs to have the basics on it. All apps can still run at the main office.
You are probably having trouble with dhcp, because it works by sending a broadcast, which won't go through a router.
You probably also have a routing issue. The thin client may not have the correct default route setup.
