That's fine. I was asking for a way to achieve it, regardless of the fiddliness. > I have seen two guides for this, one came with SmoothTunnel (blush, how much > did we pay for that?!), the other was written by Tim Higgins on > SmallNetBuilder.com (now Tom's Networking, part of TomsHardware.com). The SmoothTunnel Guide will result in a Windows XP Pro box that cannot contact the remote LAN, but any machines connected to this XP box can connect thru it to the remote LAN. This was a limitation that the good SmoothWall folks found with the inbuilt XP Client. > ProblemSolver: WinXP's IPsec client really can work! > http://www.smallnetbuilder.com/Sections-article54-page1.php I'll have a look into this solution. Hopefully its better - more functional - than the SmoothWall one and actually allows an XP road warrior to use the inbuilt client *properly*. -- Regards, Hilton Travis Phone: +61-(0)7-3343-3889 Manager, Quark AudioVisual Phone: +61-(0)419-792-394 Quark Computers http://www.QuarkAV.com/ (Brisbane, Australia) http://www.QuarkAV.net/ Open Source Projects: http://www.ares-desktop.org/ http://www.mamboband.org/ Non Linear Video Editing Solutions & Digital Audio Workstations Network Administration, SmoothWall Firewalls, NOD32 AntiVirus Conference and Seminar AudioVisual Production and Recording War doesn't determine who is right.
