-Moved- as this does not pertain to hacking starcraft.

This is how i got mine to work.

DEFINES:
Server - A VPN Server which is a computer that is NOT behind your router (aka. NOT on your LAN).
Client - Any computer, behind your router, attempting to connect to the VPN server.

Server:
1) Create VPN server
2) Setup user/pass
3) Make sure in the settings that there is a checkmark under "USE AS DEFAULT GATEWAY" or something to that effect, this is what routes your connection through their computer, thus allowing you to use THEIR ipaddress (of their cable modem as a gateway and not your cable modem).
4) Leave connection running

Client:
1) Just get online, using the router/dsl combo.
2) With that, create a "new connection" under networking via the M$ wizard. Create it as a VPN CLIENT (not server) there are tons of sites online (google) that will tell you how to do this. Btw, you must have Win2k/WinXP to act as a VPN Server for this to work (that's what I'm told).
3) Double click that "new connection"
4) It will ask you to logon, I hope you set some user/pass (server side).
5) Logon
6) goto www.myipaddress.com and verify that you AND your "partner" (LAN buddy) have different IP addresses.

If you don't please check up on VPN settings and make sure that you are aquiring their IP address upon VPN logon.

edit:
stuck, as this might be helpful for others as well.
