RE: Adding an other ethernet card to my linux box SOLVED

yes I'm currently looking into it. I'm almost there but there's something
dodgy :)
I succeeded in setting up a tunnel with the linux router in the middle just
as a 
warm-up (between 2 Windozes), now I've been working on a tunnel between a
windoze 
laptop and the linux router. I'll let you know once I'm finished :)

Thanks for your concern
Gilbert.

Did you look into FreeSwan for the IPsec thingy?
