If the router you connect your Win2K to the internet does NAT (which I
assume) it won't work. You'd have to get a router that does IPSec.
On the other hand I've never done it with both ends being dynamically, I
don't know if this will work, at least this situation will need some special
treating.
Hope this helps,
