Hi: I have two workstations at two seperate locations. One is running XP Pro the other is XP Home edition, both locations have a linksys router . I need to setup a vpn connection between both of them. I would like to know if XP Pro can be setup as aRAS server.

it can but in order for it to work effectly , you must has a routeable ip address. I lot of isp profide you with an ip address but will not route it. You can hit the internet and it isn't static.
I would sugest that on the xp pro side you get a public ipaddress that doesn't change then you should / can be able to have a ras server with no more then 10 connects to it. set the xp home as the computer who dials into the pro box.
