Establishing a VPN between two PCs

[jenardo]

Hi,
I want to establish a network between 2 distant PCs. I think that this is what is called a VPN.
I am not sure what is the best way to do this or what I should exactly read.

Thanks

Hi,
Thanks Enhancer for your answer.
eng_tameremad, obviously you didn't get what I am talking about.
A virtual private network (VPN) is a private communications network often used within a company, or by several companies or organizations, to communicate confidentially over a ""publicly accessible network"" like the Internet for example. Got me now ?
It's not a LAN.

VPN has several variants e.g VPLS, VPWS, IES, L2TP, IPSec, RFC 2547 bis etc etc.
What kind of VPN are you looking for ?

-Is it possible to use SSH within VNC communicaion ?? How ??
