Broadly spoken, here are the steps involved:
1. Determine the external IP address of your home installation.
2. If it is a dynamic address, register a domain name (e.g. with
dyndns) and configure your router to use it.
3. Give your home PC a fixed internal IP address.
4. Create a tunnel in your router so that VPN traffic is
directed to your home PC.

If the above is outside your field of experience then your
best bet is to ask a networking expert to set it up for you.

The Registered Domain Name for the home is KCAV.US. DHCP assigns IP addresses
to workstations and notebooks on a LAN.

At my remote location there is a 2Wire gateway device (modem/router) behind
which are workstations connected with ethernet cable and notebooks connected
wirelessly.

Would like to use VPN to securely connect specific workstations and
notebooks located at the branch to a server at the home location.

In addition to creating a new connection are there any services that need to
be disable?
