I'm not sure what a "Windows VPN" is. I assume it is either an IPSec VPN or a PPTP VPN, in either case you can set it up right in NetworkManager. -- System & Network Administrator [ LPI & NCLA ] <http://www.whitemiceconsulting.com> OpenGroupware Developer <http://www.opengroupware.us> Adam Tauno Williams -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

The Windows PPTP VPN is not very secure. IPSec or openVPN would be a better choice. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

What type of VPN are you using? I've used openVPN between Linux & Windows. Also, many people are moving to IPsec. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

It is a remote windows server. The admin gave me a username+pw and at least a windows xp can connect. I suppose it's the default of windows and nothing really impressive. It'd be great to get my Suse box do the connection config with console means as I have it running as homeserver. The connection is planned to synchronize some files. Actually it'd be great to have a cron-script doing: open vpn sync files close vpn Regards -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
