Greg,
I am trying to do two things. First and most importantly, I want to be able
to dial into my server using a phone line. When I dial in, I want to be
able to access the server and the windows machines on the network. If
possible, I would like to access the Internet using NAT so that I can access
my ISP's resources.
The second thing that I would like to do is to access my server from the
Internet using preferably PPTP so that I can access the machines on my
network through the server and still use NAT to access my ISP's resources.
My IP allows my to access certain resources, such as NNTP, by IP address.
Once I get all of this running, I will worry about setting up a firewall.
Thanks

Exacltly what are you trying to do? Create an FTP Server? an HTTP Server? A
Proxy/Firewall?
There are innumerable configurations possible for this, and yes, depending
on how you configure your machine you can serve a VPN connection with
SLL.There are many packages available for SSL services.
The GUI application that I use most often is linuxconf, which can be used
through DrakConf, or by su-ing to root in terminal and simply typing
linuxconf. I am not sure if MDK has the command line "gui' called setup--it
may have been left out in recent MDK distros (it's a RedHat thing).
If you have questions on configuring Firewall, Masquerading, LAN, etc,
please let me know.

Where can I find information on how to allow incoming connections to my
Mandrake 7.1 box? I downloaded the software from the net so I do not have
the documentation. If I can get this service to work, I will buy the
software when version 7.2 is released. Is there any online documentation?
CD?
Also, can Mandrake be used as a VPN server?
And finally, what is the name of the GUI program used to configure the
system? It took me at least 10 installations with four different brands of
Ethernet adapters to allow me connect the server to a network. One of the
installations had a desktop program to allow me to run a program similar to
linuxconf(sp?) in a graphical mode. Now I can only seem to run it in a very
annoying text mode.
Any help would be appreciated.
George
