Anyone know of a How-to or FAQ that explains how to connect to a Windows 2K server from a Mandrake 8.2 Linux desktop via VPN?
 
I don't, I have however tried to do the exact same thing.
I think that, regardless of distribution, VPN within Linux is made possible by poptop or FreeS/WAN

For whatever reason, I could never get this to work & ended up using a Linux VPN server. I hope you find a solution, but I think you should be ready to consider other options...

I just think Microsoft's implementation differs in many ways from any Linux implementation - try this link


It's the wrong way round (you'll see) but it should give you an idea of the compatibility issues.,..
