I run 'mpd' from the ports collection and use the Windows client's VPN to connect to it. Works very nicely. To connect between the 2 offices, I use IPSEC and 'raccoon' to exchange keys between 2 FreeBSD machines. I also can do IPSEC between my machine at home and the office. Using mpd and samba2.2, VPN users can see the whole 'Network Neighborhood' from any location (well, unless they block ports like a current venue our guys are working 8-) ) . They can "log in" ( or "log on" as M$ is fond of saying..gotta be different!) to the NetBios network and browse and drag and drop to their little heart's content. I've had enough enquiries about this stuff that I'm considering setting up a web page with some HowTos.
