RE: VPN from one Win2k host to a FreeBSD network?
Allow me to ask this once again also then. In my situation, I have my FreeBSD box here at home. Periodically I need to VPN into my work. Here is the layout: FreeBSD (home via DSL) --- (Inet) --- (Cisco PIX) --- (Work net) IP via DSLOutside IP/Inside IP I could be talking totally out of my *** here because I don't use PIX's, but I seem to recall newer versions of the PIX software supporting MS's PPTP. If that truly is the case, then MPD should work fine since it can be both a client and a server. This is why, for most offices, I recommend using Snapgear.com products. They're great for offices using T3 or less, have all the firewalling you want and no-per-user-license-fee ipsec and pptp support (although # of tunnels are limited, but that's more a hardware-limitation thing). And they're cheap as heck. If you're paid anything decent, the time it'll take you to get this figured out will have paid for a Snapgear box twice over. :) Good luck!

RE: VPN from one Win2k host to a FreeBSD network?
Use MPD (its in the ports) for PPTP support, which is built into w2k. On the user side, its friendly to set up because it presents the user w/ a modem-type setup where you dial a vpn box. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of David Kelly Sent: Friday, May 30, 2003 9:03 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: VPN from one Win2k host to a FreeBSD network? This has been covered many times before, I'm sure, just I just can't find it now I have need. A consultant with one Win2k system behind a home-office NAT firewall needs to speak Microsoft protocols to an NT4 server inside my FreeBSD NAT firewall. Also connect to the Oracle database. I currently have an IPsec VPN to yet another site with an identical FreeBSD firewall as I have here. Microsoft protocols flow over that link as well. The fact her remote Win2k system is already behind NAT suggests to me using Win2k built-in IPsec isn't going to work with racoon? She can ssh to my FreeBSD system.

Research suggests she would have to disable filesharing, or possibly remove that module, in order to free ports 137-139 so this would work. Might work but isn't low threshold of pain. Simple ssh port forwarding should work fine for Oracle. Next thought would be to tunnel PPP thru SSH. Have found plenty of examples of how to do this Unix to Unix but not from inferior OS's. Yet another thought was to use PPPoE. Win2k should have a PPPoE client. Is there a tool on FreeBSD to receive such connections? Would it appear on the Win2k system as another network interface or would it be her sole interface while it is up?

Thanks! I knew there had to be something out there but in the wealth of ports, I couldn't find it.

I have looked at a few ports, and the Linux client by Cisco. And I can't come up with anything. The Linux client seems to depend on, and look for a Linux kernel, 2.2.4 I think. Does anyone have an easy way for me to obtain the same as I did with my W2K box. As it is right now, I hang on to W2K just for that purpose. To VPN in to the company. If only I can rid this beast once and for all so I could have a test box for 5.x (Evil Grin) Thanks all Chris On Monday 09 June 2003 08:20 pm, Brent Wiese wrote: Use MPD (its in the ports) for PPTP support, which is built into w2k.
