it should work without any issues if your in bridged mode(which is the equivilent of running it on native hardware). Note the default win2k VPN software is IPSec and PPTP which is very unfriendly to networks with NAT. So if you are using NAT beware, it may be difficult or impossible to use IPSec/PPPTP. This is an intentional design of the protocol. There are other products, such as Cisco's VPN line which support IPSec encapsulated inside of UDP packets, which work perfectly in every NAT enviornment I've worked with, and I've personally tested it in VMware on win2k on debian in bridged mode behind a NAT box with flawless results. I think I read recently that the IPSec-over-UDP implimtation is to be(or perhaps already is) integrated into the 'official' IPSec spec, so chances are more vendors will support it in the future. I personally use vtun for all my VPN needs, it is a Unix<->Unix only solution though(Linux/BSD/Solaris I think is it). nate (I don't want to get into a NAT flamewar, I find NAT useful in many enviornments and am very gratified that some software vendors make products to accomidate me) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
