One site should have a static IP and a firewall box that is capable of being a pptp vpn server. The other site beit at your GF's house, or you on the road, can then connect via window's built in pptp vpn client to your static IP. There are a hundred different systems that can be a firewall and vpn server, but being the geek I am, I like Mikrotik for that purpose, either on an old PC or on their routerboard hardware.
Also note that many ISPs prevent customers in the same town from passing traffic between each other. Make sure you can ping her connection before trying to set this up. Why it's done I'm not quite sure. Perhaps to reduce internet worm infections, perhaps for calea compliance, dunno.
