no server is old school server 2000. simple router will not support anything fancy
Check here for step by step instructions on how to do it with Server 2000. It also requires VPN port forwarding on your router. Instructions on what ports on the bottom.

This solution is only available to members.

What is the application you want to run? Many applications that use a database such as accounting software must be on the same network, using them over a VPN is too slow and can cause data corruption.
I would use logmein (logmein pro if you want a more VPN like service).
Have you considered using a remote control solution (Remote Desktop, VNC, etc.) instead? It may work better for you, depending on your specifics.
