PS3 connection to remote media server

The current setup is PS3 @ home and an network somewhere else running SBS 2003 c/w loads of media (let's say music, pictures and the odd video).

What I'm looking to do is allow access to remote users & a PS3 to pull videos to watch.
I know if I setup an PC based media server on my local LAN it will work fine, but how do I allow the PS3 connection to a remote LAN/server ?

Can this be done

Can't be done, the PS3 is not configurable enough to allow complex setups.

Look into point to point VPN solutions that link sites.  
Basically you are using the Router hardware to create a VPN Tunnel so the two networks look the same.

The Cisco (previously LinkSys) RVL200 series would seem to do what you want.  Know that this is making the two sites 1  which may or not be what you want to do from a security stand point.
