VPN with Linux

Hi all,

I need to allow external connections to my network. I've two ADSL and the
possibility to publish a machine to a public ip address.

Now 'ive configured (that's orrible i know!!) an incoming connection under
WXP that allow to connect in VPN from a remote location.

How can I configure, or wich software i0ve to use, to do a similar thing
with linux?

I've a Suse 10 distribution.


Thanks in advance and sorry for my english!!!

Perhaps openvpn is what you are looking for ...

I think windows is the virus most dangerouse of the world .... but i MUST to
work with windows 'cause my customers want windows .....

If you need some help on Windows i'm at your service.

Sorry,

i'm trying to configure the openVPN server and I have a question.

If I have the network where reside the server is 192.168.12.0/24 and I need
that the clients have to see all the machine in my network, wich parameter I
have to assign to the server parameter of the configuration file??

I think it's the 'push' setting in the server config file.... Read the
manpage on it.

What exactly are the clients trying to see? If you are using WINS for
example, you will have to have samba configured to contact remote WINS
servers....

And please don't top post.... It makes it hard to follow the discussion.

The CIPE gang currently recommend OpenVPN,
