What is the remote location? The office next door or your studyroom at home 50 miles away.
If you network is connected on the internet, just connect on the network
For nearby connectionup to 300 feet you can just connect to the network with a cat5cable.There are also wireless connections.no preference their are lots,just look for the one that works with your OS and fits your budget.
good luck

that's a pretty vague question, but i'm guessing that your other comp on your lan, in that case you're going to have to create a static route to the proxy, nat, or ics, whatever server you're using.

type "route" on the command prompt of the computer that you want to route with.

(EG)
route ADD 157.0.0.0(destination, eg proxy) MASK 255.0.0.0(Network Mask) 157.55.80.1(Gateway) METRIC 3 IF 2(metric)
