VPN Connections

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.work_remotely (More info?)

See http://www.onecomputerguy.com/netw [...] server.htm for
information on how to setup a VPN server and
http://www.onecomputerguy.com/networking/xp_vpn.htm to setup the
client end...

Note that if you have a router or firewall, you will need to enable
PPTP Passthrough and either forward or allow TCP Port 1723 to pass
through to the server computer.

You would now acess files in the same way as you would if you were on
the same LAN (except you can't browse or use network neighborhood).
Specify \\IPADDRESS\SHARENAME or \\SERVERNAME\SHARENAME
