The simple way is highly dangerous, since the shares you expose to your
friends are also exposed to the world. Casual sharing is, IMHO, OK on
your home LAN, but not over the WWW.

The (relatively) safe way is to use VPN. To start, use XP's Help
facility to read about VPN; for more info, Google for it.
