    Network over Internet...

    My wife and I are temporarily living about 2,000 miles apart, and I'm looking for the easiest way to set up a network between my computer and her's over the Internet. We're both running Windows XP. Perhaps some sort of VPN... Any suggestions?

          If you have XP Pro you have a built in VPN system. You can chek it out here.

            I actually found that site on my own...

            Sucks, I have the XP Pro install disk, but it's the clean install, not the upgrade. I installed it on my laptop's ntfs partition but not sure I want to go through the hassle on my desktop!
