Home Virtual private network (VPN)?

[Superkev6969]

Hi
One of my sons has recently left the nest along with his PC which was networked to the other PC's in my house for file sharing via a SMC Barracade router with Cable (telewest) modem.
Is there a way to continue as before but with his now remote PC connected to my home network via a VPN.
Anyone point me in the right direction as to if its possible econmically and what comonants I need.
Thanks in advance

Why bother? The only point to this would be sharing files surely? You could do that just with software e.g. FTP client / server arrangement? Unless he wants to print stuff remotely at home...? You can easily setup a VPN anyway. You will need a router ideally at each end that supports its own VPN tunnels etc or VPN pass thru... Not sure about the SMC Barricade and if it will do this...
