Adding a remote pc to a net work

[Guest]

I have recently put together a small network with a wireless router, the two
pc that are on the network are working as they should . I have been trying to
add another pc that must come thru the internet to my network, but have had
no luck geting the remote pc to be part of my network. If anyone can shed
some light on this Thank You.

Allowing machines on the Internet to access your LAN is generally a Bad
Thing.
There's not a simple solution.

VPN is a possible solution:

Depending on where you wish to terminate the VPN on your LAN,
you may need to port-forward on the router. The first page describes how.
