And i would prefer it to be part of the network on an ethernet level rather than e.g. ip-level. But I think I don't want to bother anymore connecting a windows machine, and just stick with what I've (almost) got working. Which is bridging two freebsd-machines using openvpn + netgraph. I don't think that it will work without some hack to mpd either, and the reason I now don't want to bother with it anymore, is that I just realised it probably won't work on the windows client either, without some hacking in the ppp-client. I'm just going to let it be for now I think.
