Is there a way to connect to PCs over the internet as if by LAN using Win XP Home edition?
Thanks in advance,
Jules

Note if you want to play games that are using much bandwith (for example CS, Americas Army, Warcraft etc), you will get big pings and lags.

What you want is called a Virtual Private Network. Knowing this term should better help you in finding what you need.

You could set up a VPN. Personally, I'd just IM my friends my IP and they'd type that into the game. You'd have a lot lower latency than a VPN.
