Yes. > Does anyone knows how to do it? Yes. > Maybe poptop is the solution ? Since you mentioned PoPToP, I assume you want to use PPTP for your VPN, not something like IPsec. I use mpd to give PPTP access to several Windows 2000 clients, and it works fine. (I chose mpd over PoPToP, since mpd uses FreeBSD kernel facilities specifically made for this kind of thing, whereas PoPToP is userland software ported from Linux.) I've never used (or even seen, for that matter) Windows ME, so I suppose YMMV applies. > How do I install it ? 1) Either get the source yourself and compile it, according to the instructions (it's /pub/FreeBSD/ports/local-distfiles/archie/mpd-3.2.tar.gz on ftp.freebsd.org), or do # cd /usr/ports/net/mpd && make install 2) Read the documentation (it's HTML format) and the sample configuration files.
