VPN Questions

[Guest]

I am trying to connect two computers in two different cities via VPN.
Neither machine has a static IP, however, their DHCP leases last at least a
day to a week.
I tried going through the Create Network Connection Wizard and created a
VPN on one side going to the other PC, and on the other PC had the user
create a Windows account for the person who wanted to connect to his PC.
That did not work. Do I have to create a VPN connection from both PCs? Any
help with be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
Joseph
