Thanks Martin. After starting the configuration of ipsec/Swan I can see its a bit more 
work, just from the server side. Since I am limited in time right now I will be taking 
your advice and trying pptp.

Thanks again

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.
