Hi,

OK. Now my Bering box is running sweet and shorewall lets my apps
through. Time to break it again ;)

A few questions on VPN'ing with freeswan if I may.

1) Does anyone know of a good guide? I'm a complete linux newbie...
2) Is VPN'ing client server or peer-to-peer?
3) Before I break anything again, is this possible?

My WinXP machine

(192.168.0.254 eth1) 
My Bering box with freeswan
(DHCP eth0)
------------------------------
            |
            |

(ISP DHCPServer) 
Cable Modem

WinXP (running Zone Alarm)

(NB Secure tunnel between the two WinXP boxes)

4) Is there minimum spec for freeswan? My bering box is a P75 with 16Mb
of RAM.
5) How many VPN tunnels could my box support? I'd like to try and link
several home networks scattered around the UK     together.
6) (Last one ;) My workplace is considering setting up VPN access to the
work LAN now that a lot of us have broadband. Is it possible for my
WinXP box to be connected to both VPNs through the bering box, but keep
them separate?

OK, I'm done.
