Connecting to a Network over Internet

[Msakdillz]

Hi , I am trying to figure out how my friend can connect to my home Network over the internet , We are both running Windows Xp. I am guessing you need to run somekind of Server or something, but if not is there any good resources i can find out how to do this . :D

It depends on what you want him to be able to do when he gets there. If you mean share files for instance, and do all the normal local networking stuff, then you need to set up a VPN tunnel between your machines. Nothing else required. In my work, I connect to remote machines for all different purposes, and different purposes require different techinques and software. So....what are you trying to do exactly?
