How to connect routers over internet (at different sites)?

Hello experts,

This is my first post, and also I`m new on this help forum. I hope you will help me,
and if I will be glad to extend my memebership over this free period into prepayed period.

I have setup routers, one at my home, and another at my parents, different internet provider
(ISP). I`m a student, and till monday I need to figure it out how to connect them togehter.I need have a goal to create shares between two computers.
As I know I need to open VPN between those two routers, right?

I NEED BASIC INSTRUCTION HOW TO CREATE VPN, TUNNEL TO CONNECT THIS TWO LAN NETWORKS???

Here is my network topology:
1. SITE:
CISCO 881 router:
static ip: 89.212.100.1
subnet: 255.255.255.0
Dhcp: ON
Connect devices: one pc and one switch

First, thank you very much for quick reply.

WOOLNOIR:
I have found this XLS template. It`s look like very helpful. Hope, it will help also when I will be add into both routers. This weekend I will more or less dedicated to configure Wan connection.
Questions:
When I will add parameters into Cisco IOS, should routers see each other? Could PCs on both sides share files?
I know Cisco has also a lot of software (Cisco config pro/express, Cisco security device manager). Can they also open tunnel/VPN?

I will start with configuration in the evening. And I will be in touch, in case if I will need more additional help.
Till then thank you, and thanks in advance for help.

JoseLeonardo:
If you mean WAN IPs of modems on each side, yes they have static IPs, and modems are configure by vendor policy.

Also thank you for now. And thanks in advance for help!

Be back around 8:30pm (UTC local time +1)



One question more:
I also found very good tool Cisco Packet Tracer. I was want to build similar topology of my real situation. I have also successfull create two sides. But it stops when I want to create ISP network.
At the moment I have like this:
1. PC --->> SWITCH --->> ROUTER ---> Modem
What do I need to add to simulate between Modems to simulate network? Which icon, and which line of connections?
2. PC --->> SWITCH --->> ROUTER ---> Modem

Ok, I will try it, but still I was hoping to get some basic steps how to configure. Because, Cisco network is one of difficult part of informations technology, because of it`s specifics.

Still, I will turn on router, and try it...

thanks

one little question for, and what the team says SH VER, may be your IOS does not support VPN
CISCO 881? It should support. Also by that, if I get with router also CD installtion of Cisco Configuration Professional, which has VPN wizard.
