If your not adverse to running some more commercial programs try SSH
Sentinal for windows, nice ipsec client works really well with freeswan.


I have setup 

freeswan <-> freeswan
W2K <-> freeswan
XP <-> freeswan

plus with the NAT travesal patch.

The M$ solution is not a nice one especially if you have a dynamic
address.

You can try XP ipsec/l2tp, but then you also need PPP running with
freeswan
