VPN Connection to Win2K Server? 1

[fmiller]

Anybody have any suggestions on how I can connect to a Win2K server via VPN? Our company has one already set up for the Windows users in the company and refuse to learn anything about Linux, so whatever solution I find has to be compatable with what's already set up. I'm running mandrake 8.2 and KDE3 for my desktop window manager.

i don't think it's possible just yet

freeswan can talk to a win2k machine if it is the server but i'm not sure about the other way round.

if you do find something let me know tho

It is possible. You can use the pptp-linux client (do a google search). I got it working once but it was a while ago and i don't use it now so I can't walk you through it. It wasn't too difficult to setup IIRC.

jaa

I'm really green at this, but I do recall the IT manager mentioning that our VPN uses the LT2P protocol. Is that compatable with the PPTP on Linux client?
