PDC over the Internet... ???

[Cryptospy]

Okay.. here's the scoop.. (Warning, IT Student!!)
System 1 (Sys1) - In Vancouver, running Windows 2K Server and FaxServe
System 2 (Sys2) - In Kelowna, running Windows 2K Prof. and Faxserve Administrator

When the systems are on the same network (On the same hub, with ip's in the same subnet) things work "hunky dory". I am in the test phase where sys1 is only across town, but it is enough to change the IP into a different subnet. I need to beable to "log on" to that system from sys2 and be authenticated in order to use the faxserve administrator properly. As it sits, I have tried to join the domain by modifying my host file to include sys1 as my domain server but to no avail. I am assuming I have to create a VPN but am still too green to understand fully how to accomplish that over the @home network. Can someone point me to a website or give me some ideas on how to get started?

Thanx..

Microsoft has some nice whitepapers on setting up a PPTP based VPN, which will allow you to log on to your server from a remote site (you will be part of the network)
and if you install Terminal Services on your server, you can do full administration of your server... Peter Van Eeckhoutte
