I've set up a Dachstein box at my office & one for a small network at
home. I'd like to set up a VPN at work that allows employees to work
from home.
I've started reading through some of the docs, but don't have a clear
idea of the "big picture." This is how I undersand it. Please let me
know where I'm off base:
User at home is on a PC running Windows 2K (192.168.x.x DHCP address)
Set up a VPN network connection through the network control panel.
...Connects to...
Dachstein box at home (192.168.x.x internal & DHCP external) does NAT.
Does this box need to run FreeSwan, or just modify the firewall to
pass the VPN packets? Or can it go either way?
...Connects to...
Cable modem.
I read that DHCP is a problem, though my address has never changed in
the year+ that I've had the service. Coworkers say the same thing. Do
I really need to set up the dyndns.org stuff to get a FQDN for my home
gateway?
...through Internet...
DSL modem at work (work.static.ip.address)
...Connects to...
Dachstein box at work (work.static.ip.address2 external, 192.168.x.x
internal) does NAT.
This box will run FreeSwan, I need to modify firewall rules as described
by Charles.
Does this box need to use a different internal address? I read
somewhere that the networks couldn't use the same address space, but
FreeSwan docs
give examples where they ARE the same.
...connects to...
PC's at work.
Do nothing special to them.
Thanks for your help!
Chris
