remote-connection

I have just added a Windows Home Server (WHS) to my home network and a few of my computers are now connected to it and, using the client software, back themselves up each evening.

I want to connect a computer that's outside of my home network (in someone else's house) to do the WHS via the internet.

How do I do this? (i.e. There must be a way to hack the client software and tell give it an IP/port that you can expose from the WHS.)
