www.freeswan.org for a Linux implementation of IPsec, packet encryption and authentication at the IP level. That would let you build a tunnel between the two Linux firewalls and route data securely between the two LANs. You'd then have some more work to do with WINS or Samba to get the network neighborhood working. Some of the details are in this piece of FreeS/WAN documentation: http://www.freeswan.org/freeswan_trees/freeswan-1.95/doc/interop.html#NTdomain A search of FreeS/WAN mailing list archives will turn up a lot more.
