Hi, just an idea, afaik putty (a windows ssh client) can also tunnel ip-connections. This would allwo you to make a simple ssh-tunnel for your wireless clients, without the need of any other vpn-software: windows / linux / os/2 / mac with an ssh-client <--(ssh)--> ssh-server <--> internet The <--(ssh)--> part of the route to the internet is the (wwh-encrypted) wireless connection. As you need an account to log in via ssh on the ssh-server to tunnel, only valid users can get internet access. Of course, you have to disable routing from the ssh-server's wireless interface, as the only valid connection is incoming connection to ssh-port 22. This is not as comfortable as a well-configured vpn solution, but it is completely transparent (access by user account on ssh-server), rather secure (one would have to break into your ssh-server) and works with all client systems coming with some sort of ssh-clients, which means it is a generic setup which should still be useable after the next update to windows-whatever and its great newest vpn-protocol ;-) Of course you will have to set up tunnelling by some sort of script, cause you need tunnels for all needed protocols (dns, http, ftp, ...). CU + good luck (I am sure the more ambitious howtos for vpn will follow ;-) Lars.
