remotely surfing the web through my home pc using vpn
----------
I've got a small problem. I travel often and can't trust network connections from hotels, where i stay. I have two pc's -- a home/business desktop and my notebook. I understand that the best way to get a trusted connection would be to setup a vpn connection from my notebook to my home desktop. After connecting to my home pc, i can use my home internet connection to surf the web. The problem is i don't know much about vpn and need help setting up a connection.

I'd really appreciate it if someone can help me do two things -- 1) teach me how i can make my home pc accept a vpn connection from my notebook 2) teach me how to make my notebook connect to the home pc.

i don't care about file sharing between the two computers. i just want my home pc to act sort of like a proxy and allow my notebook to surf the web through it.

VPN Reqirements.
----------
Requirement for VPN connection:

VPN router.
VPN Client software.
You need to get a static Ip addr for internet connection for Internet service provider.

The VPN router must be configured for home PC.
You need to install the VPN Client software.

First step, you need to configure the VPN settings on the router.
second, the settings which we configured on router, should configure on VPN client software.
When you away from home or wherever you are, you can connect to your home PC through VPN client software which is more
secured and faster access.

Let me suggest a product. In netgear, FVS318 VPN router also client software is available in netgear.(easy to configure).
