MS Windows Networking using IPSec

I am relatively new to MS Networking. My understanding has been that you
need PPTP to be able to establish a secure MS type network over an IP
network. I was able to run netbios over TCP/IP and run a peer-to-peer MS
network through an IPSec tunnel across an Internet connection. Is this a
standard practice and what are the limitations for such a configuration vs a
PPTP configuration. I don't have a domain controller in my current set-up,
is there any limitation with the domain controller(s) in the set-up.
I understand that PPTP is bundled with MS so is basically free while the
IPSec solution requires additional VPN security gateways.

Thanks & Regards
