How easy is it to set up a VPN to work from home

[Clapham Saint]

Morning guys.

 

I'm not after any specifics at the moment, rather trying to work out if something is likely to be possible.

 

A potential oportunity has come up for my wife which would start in about 6 months or so with a small business, however she is much much more likely to be able to manage it if she could work some days from home.

 

How easy is it to set up a VPN system which would allow my wife to access files at home (she can already access e-mails)? They are not at all tech savy.

 

I'm sure that I am demonstrating my ignorance by not giveing some basic information... however I think that they use windows 95 but it may be vista.

 

Thanks,

To use team viewer won't shee need a computer physically in the office as well as one at home?

 

That may not be possible.

The VPN is not to tricky to setup, depends on the routers the company use for internet access really as the initial setup of VPN users is in the router. Once you are on the VPN you can then map network drives to your machine so you do not need another workstation in the office. Totally depends on the setup, do they have a file server in the office?
