I am still trying to find the best secure way to get into my home network from the road. In my home I have a wondows box that has a really large hard drive. I use this hme computer as storage for all kinds of files. There are times when I am on the road and I need to retrieve these files. I am using a HP AMD 64 laptop and would be using this computer to attach to the windows box for file retriveal. I need a program that will install on the windows box that will allow the laptop with a linux program installed talk to each other. I need these to be as secure as possible. I have fooled around with tightVNC but am wondering if there is something better. Thank's in advance for any input. David

Install cygwin on the win box, include the ssh daemon. You can then run the ssh daemon as a service on the win box and ssh in from your laptop. Scott -- POPFile, the OpenSource EMail Classifier http://popfile.sourceforge.net/ Linux 2.6.8-24.14-default x86_64
How about a VPN solution? Win XP can handle VPN. You may want to take a look here: http://www.natecarlson.com/linux/ipsec-x509.php CF Scott Leighton wrote:

Another secure alternative: http://openvpn.net/ Works on a number of platforms, including Windows and Linux. Christian
