Virtual Private Network

To make the VPN connection do this.
1. Open Network Connections.
2. Under Network Tasks, click Create a new connection, and then click Next.
3. Click Connect to the network at my workplace, and then click Next.
4. Click Virtual Private Network connection, click Next, and then follow the instructions in the wizard.

If this does not work, you can map a drive to an ip address. If both computers are on the same WAN, the map a drive to a computer name.

Good Luck

I have just did what you are starting. I found a great book (300 pages +-).
