If you want to access your server from both Linux and Windows, for simplicity, I would recommend using PPTP.
Windows 2000 has a native PPTP client and you can use pptpclient (pptpclient.sourceforge.net) on Linux. For the server side, use PopTop (www.poptop.org). By using pptp, what you lose in security, you gain in simplicity. IpSec can be setup to run under Windows 2000, but it can get pretty complicated. Martin
