Unfortunately? I don't see a problem with that. Anyway...

Please check out the following Daemon News article for doing exactly what 
you require...

http://www.daemonnews.org/200101/ipsec-howto.html

The document goes by the name of FreeBSD IPsec mini-HOWTO. It covers the 
steps involved in getting a VPN working between two FreeBSD boxes or between 
one FreeBSD and one Win2K. It works to explain how to setup a network to 
network connection and a workstation to network connection.

Personally I find the document a bit hard to follow but if you make enough 
sketches of what they're talking about and re-read it often enough I think 
the point comes through. I'm not bitching though, I think this kind of 
technology will sometimes be a bit hard to grok.


BTW - You can also get the latest version of the same document at...

>Anyway the question is: What software do I have to use in the my case?

IPSec does it. It comes standard with Win2K and FreeBSD.


>Has anyone installed the VPN as I'm going to install?

I've been meaning to but I haven't yet. I'd appreciate you letting me know 
how you go with the setup.
