Answer
You will need to have a user acount on the server machine with remote access allowed.

You will need to know you WAN IP address.  Goto ipchicken.com to find out you IP Address.

You will need to forward these ports in your router to the IP address of the server PPTP 1723, IPSec 500, 42-51

Finally you will need to set a VPN connection in Network Connections on the Pro Machine
