Virtual Private Network

I'm trying to find information on setting up a VPN but to no avail. Can anyone point me in the right direction for advice or give me advice.

I was under the impression that XP was able to VPN with out additional software.

I have a Network at work with one pc (XPHome) acting as the gateway/comms server using Kerio WinRoute and a Firewall. The isp connection has a dedicated IP address.

I want to connect pc and/or laptop from home also provided with a dedicated IP address by the same ISP

Both ends have a firewall.

Both way communications would be preferable, but one way to begin with would be a blessing.

I can't find any simple straight forward advice on where to begin so any help would be appreciated.

Check out the white papers on this. Hopefully that will give you enough information to get started.

 

Are the firewalls at both ends software (personal) firewalls?

What sort of connections are you using (for example, broadband or dial-up)?
