VPN through Linux kernel 2.6 Masquerade 1

[Albion]

I am running Linux as a Firewall / Masquerade server for my Windows 2003/XP Intranet. All my machine sit behind the Linux server on a private network (192.168.1.x). I am running Fedora Core 3 with Kernel 2.6.9. Can someone point me toward a HOWTO for creating a Tunnel through my Linux server that will allow my users to log into our Windows 2003 domain from the Internet. All the VPN/Masquerade HOWTOs that I have found are only for 2.0 and 2.2 kernels.

On another note, I would rather not use FreeS/WAN. I have tried multiple time to get it working but I am just not savvy enough with Linux to do it... way to many configuration files and scripts I just don't understand and don't have time to learn.

Thanks

Looks like it may work! Thanks billions for the link. I will post a reply if/when I get it working.

Thanks again.

After looking everything over I think what I want to do is called NAT-Traversal. Does OpenVPN do NAT-T? I assume that all I would need to do on the Linux box is forward UDP port 500 and 4500 to my Windows 2003 server.
