Remote access - Accessing a Private network.

Hi,
i'll get straight to the point :)
I wanna be able to dial into my linux box - fire up ppp (this is already
configured) and have access to my windows boxes which are connected to this
linux box.

Firstly, is this possible.
Secondly, is this called Virtual Private Networking.

I have tried reading up on VPN's but on one hand it seems to be what i wanna
do and on the other it doesnt seem to be what i wanna do.

Would i need to set up anything on the linux firewall for this to work?? or
is it all windows work??

Thanx for your time.
Adam W.
