Periodically I need to VPN into my work. Here is the layout: FreeBSD (home via DSL) ---> (Inet) ---> (Cisco PIX) ---> (Work net) IP via DSL Outside IP/Inside IP Under my old Windows2000, I used the VPN Client provided my Cisco. I have looked at a few ports, and the Linux client by Cisco. And I can't come up with anything. The Linux client seems to depend on, and look for a Linux kernel, 2.2.4 I think. Does anyone have an easy way for me to obtain the same as I did with my W2K box. As it is right now, I hang on to W2K just for that purpose. To VPN in to the company. If only I can rid this beast once and for all so I could have a test box for 5.x (Evil Grin) Thanks all Chris > > On Monday 09 June 2003 08:20 pm, Brent Wiese wrote: > > Use MPD (its in the ports) for PPTP support, which is built into w2k. > > On the user side, its "friendly" to set up because it presents the > > user w/ a modem-type setup where you "dial" a vpn box. > > > > > -----Original Message----- > > > From: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org > > > [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org] On Behalf Of David > > > Kelly Sent: Friday, May 30, 2003 9:03 AM > > > To: FreeBSD-Questions@FreeBSD.org > > > Subject: VPN from one Win2k host to a FreeBSD network? > > > > > > > > > This has been covered many times before, I'm sure, just I > > > just can't find it now I have need. > > > > > > A consultant with one Win2k system behind a home-office NAT > > > firewall needs to speak Microsoft protocols to an NT4 server > > > inside my FreeBSD NAT firewall.
