Would setting up a VPN through Win2K Pro "Make New Connection" work for me? If so, is it a hard process? Never done it =))

Is there any basic way to allow one company to access a shared drive at another company. Each company has a linksys router and Terayon cable modem. Is there something I need to setup within the router to allow incoming connections?
 
Don't mean to be a pain, I just need to get it done today or tomorrow. Any advice?
