I have a Linux box running 2.4 (SuSe 7.3 Sparc) and I want to configure it
to allow myself to tunnel in from the internet to it, so I would like to be
say in another city and connect back to it over the Internet, create a VPN
connection back.

So this should give me access to the home network.

So on the client side I have W2K or NT 4 or W98
On the Server side I have SuSe 2.4.17, PPP-2.4.1 (and pppoe?), freeswan 1.96
and poptop 1.0.1 ( I have the source for these, compiled and installed)

I don't want to yet go down the IPSec route (started to), want to keep in
simple to start with.

So I want PPPoe + poptop on the server side and this should allow
connection's over the internet and dial up connections as well (not worried
about those yet).

I am presuming the next step I could take then is to add IPSec to the tunnel
that is created to make it more secure.

And then the final step would be to connect to LAN together with this, with
a Linux box with PPPoe+poptop+IPSec(freeswan) on one side and W2K + IPSec on
the other side.

has anyone tried this ?
Has any one got any comments, is this the right path to take ?

Any comments ?

Thanxs
Alex

Hey Alex

One issue with 2K is that it won't allow un-encrypted VPN sessions, I had
terrible trouble trying to get it to work against a Cisco Router until I
discovered the registry entry to allow this.

I'm not sure about the Linux config but you will need ot set the following
in Windows if you donot want to do the whole key exchange bollox....


[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\RasMan\Parameters]
"ProhibitIpSec"=dword:00000001
