How to set up a VPN (Vertual Private Network) in Win XP

[Thusith]

I have a one computer which has a program already
installed. Me and couple of my friends want to access
that program remotely (Through the internet) using our
laptops from somewhere else, at the same time. With
Remote desktop function, does not allow us to access the
host computer at the same time. I will be pleased if some
body could explain me how to set up a vertual private
network between the host computer and our remote
computers, So we could access the host computer at the
same time.
Thanks.

Well, unfortunately XP only allows one incoming VPN connection at a time. You would need to setup a
server, ie. W2K or W2003, to do what you want...
