Actually, the problem is that I want some PCs (WinNT)  in the internet to
communicate with a server (WinNT) in my intranet. The firewall is linux, and what I
need is to share some directories of the server with the PCs. I was thinking of
creating a tunnel between them, but it has occured to me now that I don't really
now how to do this tunneling: a tunnel between the PCs and the server can be done
with the Firewall in the middle?

                    Thanks!
