Does someone know a piece of > software that is able to manage this? Totally automatic? No, I don't know of any. You could use mpd on FreeBSD to set up or connect to a PPTP VPN from the WinXP box. I don't know of anything that will figure out the IPs though. You'll have to see what IP each machine has before you'll be able to connect. You could use IPsec, but last I checked, the Win version of IPsec did things a little differently than the rest of the world, and wasn't 100% compatable in all modes, but you still might find it usefull ... depending on exactly what you are trying to accomplish. -- Bill Moran Potential Technologies http://www.potentialtech.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
