Windows XP VPN Routing

I have a remote office LAN that I am trying to connect to my central office
LAN. I was thinking about creating a VPN tunnel from a Windows XP machine
at the remote office to a Windows 2003 Server connected to the central LAN.

My question: Can I route traffic from the remote LAN thru the Windows XP
computer to the central site? Does it make a difference if the remote
computer is Windows XP Home or Pro?

Thanks,

That depends on tunnel policy.

Normally you would not want to that.
