You cannot do this with MS Office, it's a feature completely unrelated to

Office. It's more of an OS or communications feature.

 

XP Home does not support VPN. You could use OpenVPN, but keep in mind that

a VPN is not something you set up on one end only. Frequently it's also

necessary to configure the routers in use to permit the VPN traffic.

 

What is at the other end of the VPN tunnel you are trying to create?

 

There is also a newsgroup devoted to VPN issues, try

microsoft.public.isa.vpn
