Hello,

I would like to ask this question in this form to the list, because perhaps somebody could prevent me from wasting much time, if the thing I would like to do is not possible at all.

I would like to connect a Windows 2000 Professional to my OpenBSD 3.0 (clean install from CD) firewall over a VPN. Also access to the LAN behind the firewall should be possible. The firewall uses a PPPoE ADSL link with dynamic ip as internet connection. I have manged a dyndns.org hostname for this connection. The Windows 2000 Pro connects over a router, also dynamic ip, to the internet.

Is it possible to build a VPN based on this setup?
If yes, what possibilities do exist?
I have heard Windows 2000 Pro has a build-in VPN client, but I have no experience with it. Is it useful for what I want to do?
Is it possible with another VPN client?

Can anybody give me a hint, which direction to go? There are so many options and I still do not see the hole picture, so I cannot find the right direction to go or if there is a way at all.

Thanks in advance and best regards,

Sven Eisenhauer
