Ok, here is what i understood. I need to set up VPN server on my FreeBSD server giving permission to the outside XP system to access the server. On the outside XP system, I need to connect VPN box (eg. LinkSys part number BEFVP41) to the system and this one does not require any additional VPN client because the builtin IPSec client in XP machine will create a tunnel between the client and server. Please correct me if I am wrong. Thanks, naveen. Bill Campbell <freebsd@celestial.com> wrote:On Wed, Mar 10, 2004, samy lancher wrote: > > Thanks for the reply.

There are IPSec clients that run on XP that will connect to the LinkSys and similar VPN boxes from Netgear and others. As a general rule, no Windows box should ever be connected directly to the Internet as there are far too many ways for worms to access the Microsoft virus, Windows with a direct connection.
