    Hello, my name is Allen Thompson. I hope you can help me, as I have "no place left to go"!  Basically, I have an Actiontec wireless DSL gateway, behind which I have 3 pc's - all connected wirelessly at the moment - my friend has 2 pc's behind a standard 4 port wired router - I have a small internal network, as does my friend at his end.  What I would like to accomplish, if possible, is to connect the 2 private networks via VPN, without using any other software than windows XP, which all the machines are running - the primary function of the connection is file-sharing. I've tried setting up an "incoming connection" on several of my xp machines, all to no avail.  Will it be possible for me to accomplish this, or am I going to have to buy some 3rd party software? Any assistance you could provide would be absolutely invaluable!

Cheers!

Allen Thompson
