The Question:
Using the built in Windows 7 VPN, can they connect to the LAN at my friends house and play a few games?
The Info I have found:

So- If my friend allows incoming VPN connections, will the other two guys be able to play with them?
Also, Whats connection bridging? I have no idea what it is or anything, but If my friend, the one who allows incoming connections, bridge that incoming connections connection with he's network adapter, then what will happen, uh hahahahaha. just explain that function please!!!

This is the Situation:
- LAN Party at friends house, 3 or 4 guys are going to he's house.
- Two of he's other friends can't make it, as he lives to far.
- He has a broadband connection to he's home network.
- Both of the friends that cant physically be at the LAN has broadband.
- Everyone is running Windows 7
