I am interested in remote connecting into an established network. I think setting up a vpn is the best way to go. How would I go about doing this? It is self explanatory to set up the client side, creating a vpn shortcut, enter dest ip, etc... How do I enable a computer on the pre-existing network side to accept the connection? Help ASAP would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Basic tutorial for VPN here.

Link to: VPN - Virtual private Networking, an overview.

Option 1. Connect from home to VPN Server in the office.
You have to set WinXP VPN, and if you have a Router it has to be VPN through able (I.E. it allows VPN protocol to pass),

Link to: VPN : secure private networking via the Internet using Windows XP.

Option 2. Connecting between two WinXP, and configuring one as a VPN Server.

Link to: Configure Windows XP Professional to be a VPN server.

Option 3. Buy a Router that is Real VPN End-Point. I.e. your Server VPN is done in hardware (look at the Linksys Routers some are VPN End Point), and configure each WinXP Client as mentioned in Option1.
