I would like to network 2 computers via the internet using VPN.I understand on my WIN98se machine I can setup a VPN client but I "hear" that in order for the other computer to serve it has to be running WIN2k pro or WINNT plus some kind of VPN server software (RAS?).I beleive the other machine has XP on it.
Is there another piece of software that has client/server built in to it so I don't have to upgrade my OS?
And...when the VPN connection is up..does it work in both directions,ie- can server computer access my client computers drive resources? Connection to internet is DSL.

thank you,
Todd
