VPN setup between peer to peer...

[Etop Udoh]

Here is my scenerio...

There are 2 different peer to peer networks in 2 different locations,
and I'm
wondering if it is possbile to set up a VPN connection between the 2
peer to peer
network locations that do not have a server running ?
Is a server required in order to be able to set up a VPN connection ?

I should add that the 2 different peer to peer locations have DSL as
their internet
connection type.
Windows XP is the operating systems of choice here. I've seen the
remote
access software in XP and Win2k but how would one go about setting it up
and
using it. ?
