You can setup a VPN between two XP boxes... See these pages for help with
the built-in PPTP VPN server/client...

Personally I use OpenVPN running on an XP Pro box versus PPTP VPN simply
because I have problems getting GRE Protocol 47 traffic through my router.
Open VPN is quite easy to setup and use. See my page for OpenVPN help/hints.
You can also run RDP through a Secure Shell (SSH) tunnel as another
alternative...

Before I go any further, I would like to know how secure the remote
desktop web connection is. Is it as secure as a VPN connection? Also, I
want to know if a VPN can be setup b/w two XP Pro's, or do you have to
have a server host for VPN?

Thanks,
JT
