Remote Access - Best WAN Solution

We are looking for the best recommendation for the following situation
for sharing files on our server across a WAN. In Building A (call it
BA), our server is Windows 2003 Standard Edition and it has (1) network
card with (3) XP client computers and is a DC. We access the Internet
via a cable connection. We do not currently have a Static IP address
from our ISP. We have text documents & a database file for a program we
use on the clients located on this server. We want to access these
documents and database file from Building B (call it BB) which is (2-3)
blocks away from BA and has (3) XP workstations, without a server,
currently sharing a cable Internet connection The workstations in BB
run the same programs as those in BA, but need access to the database
file and documents in BA.
We are familiar with setting up VPNs using SBS2000 and remotely
accessing workstations on a network using RDC. However, there may be
occasion where users in BA will be using their computers and we would
not want to permit a RDC to those PCs just in order run the approriate
software or open shared documents.
What hardware,setup would be required in BA and BB to configure this
remote/WAN access?
What are the latest,greatest technology options to accomplish this?
We are assuming a Static IP in BA, adding another NIC (to isolate
internal network from external) and new router with VPN support are
necessary?
Thank you!
