I have seen several responses to my question with the use of VPN IPSEC, well, I have no idea how I can do that, I have never use it .
Well, maybe you might give openvpn[1] a look. Its a lot easier to setup and works for *nix and win systems (at least for 2k and xp).

I did a quick install that was really pretty easy so far. But while configuring it i failed to setup a tunnel directly between two hosts without any routers/firewalls between them. Examples there only describes models like: [endpoint]<--LAN-->[firewall]<--internet-->[Roadwarrior] or [endpoint]<--LAN-->[firewall]<--internet-->[router/firewall]<--LAN-->[Roadwarrior] Is it true that only with the upcoming openvpn 2.0 direct connections between server and client get possible. That would make ipsec the first choice. [anyserver POP/SMB]<---->[any client] Thx in advance the bob -- http://www.hs-pongratz.de
