I have Windows XP (with DSL) at home and 2000 at work.

I've read through many documents on Microsoft's support
site but I can't seem to figure out how to access my home
computer when I'm at work. I know it's possible.

Can someone give me some guidance in an easy to understand
way? Thanks in advance for any help.

Virtual Private Networks (VPN) allow users working at home, on the road or
at a branch office to connect in a secure manner to a remote corporate
server using the public Internet. VPN server or host is a computer that
accepts VPN connections from VPN clients. A VPN server or host can be a
NT/W2K server or W2K/XP Pro. VPN client is a computer that initiates a VPN
connection to a VPN server or host. A VPN client can be an individual
computer running MS Windows NT version 4.0, Windows 2000, 9x. VPN clients
can also be any non-Microsoft Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP)
client or Layer Two Tunneling Protocol (L2TP) client using IPSec.
