please find the network setup of my company

ISP modem - 192.168.1.1
ordinary 24 port switch
2003 Domain Controller - 192.168.1.2 - ( domain name is abc.local )
12 XP workstations connected t0 switch(under the domain) - 192.168.1.101 - 192.168.1.200
2 server 2008 workstations(not a domain controller).
these are still connected to abc.local . Ip addresses are 192.168.1.11 - 192.168.1.12
All the PCs have only one network adapter and static IP . Not assigned by DHCP

Clients are in a completely different country and different network
Till now not connected even thro Internet.

clients in a different country wants access to one of the 2008 servers thro VPN
Can we use the Routing and Remote access/VPN functionality present in Server 2008 to establish connection ?

Dont want to use any kind of Remote desktop sharing utility
I have also tried Logmein and Teamviewer products. They are not an option for me now
any help would be greately appreciated.

We have a static IP address got from the ISP at our disposal.

Yes, you can use the RRAS to set up vpn, no problem. All you need to do is forward ports 47 and 1723 to the server that are listening for connections (whichever one you want to do this), and obviously configure the RRAS to listen to incoming connections.

Static IP is nice, but not necessary. You could use a dynamic updater (like DynDNS or no-ip) tool to always reach your server on a url. All you need is an account with them, download the tool and install as a service. You can either buy a domain from them or use free host-domains, like myserver.dyndns.org.

But since you have a static IP use it :)
