I finally setup a VPN connection into my home network so that when I'm traveling, I can easily access all of my files and computers. I'd been doing it before through port forwarding through my router, but that had it's limitations. I originally was looking at some of the new routers that have the capability built in, until I noticed that XP Pro has the capability natively. Here's a good article explaining how to set it up. Couldn't be much easier.
