xp pro map a drive, can it be done?

[caterman]

I have 2 xp pro machines networked
they are connected to a linksys router with DSL Static ip

I have a place down the road that I would like to access the database for the company versus remote admin. since ther are several computers there.

I have tried "\\xxx.xxx.xxx.x\server\actdatabase which should be the path if I have read correctly. But I am pretty sure I am missing something cause it won't connect to map.

I may be way off base but, I seem to remember years ago I could do this through a dial up connection to the server.

Also all of the WG names are correct
Thanks!
