[kwlug disc.] tricky situation

[Lori Paniak]

This sounds like a setup I did for my brother-in-law.  For that I used
OpenVPN and Samba.  It gives a secure connection between the home and
office, allows Windows file sharing with Samba and OpenVPN has a clean,
easy to install client for XP and Vista.

I would put the OpenVPN server on the Linux box at work and get a dyndns
address for that DSL connection.  Then the home box will always know
where to VPN to.

Cheers,
Lori
