My outside IP is via DHCP. At this point I have decided to try doing a VPN between the two Mandrake boxes, but what I do not understand is how I will be able to access shares and databases on my windows boxes. I thought I would have to allow a VPN to pass through so I could use the XP VPN client and the VPN server on my windows server. Is that not the case? If I do manage to get the two firewall boxes talking will it be just as if I was on my local network with the windows server? Thanks to all of you for the info.
