Do web search on Virtual Private Networking. That is what you are trying to achieve. However you will need some kind of a third party software to get there.

Usual file sharing can be done through yahoo messenger and limewire type clinets, and games can be played by logging onto same web servers. But to transfer files directly amongst computers and play games over internet as if it were on your local LAN you would need to set up a VPN.

use file transfer function in Yahoo Messenger....pretty quick
as far as sharing files and folders msn messenger beta now allows you to share whole folders. as far as gaming,you cant,propagation would kill the two links.you can also try pcanywhere to share folders but is way complicated.

if your into games.each of the peeps you want ot play with need to download the game and setup a host. you can be the host and let the others join you.
Windows XP has a built in home network feature... that is, if you are talking about two computers in your home. You will have to either connect both computers to a router or connect them directly using a crossover cable. Then, go to Control panel and run the network setup wizard on both compters.
You can actually transfer files using MSN Messenger or Skype. I'm not sure if you can do with Yahoo Messenger.
