[LARTC] VPN Server setup for roaming windows clients?

Dear Friends,

I am a newbie to IPTABLES and I have got a problem. 

I implemented a VPN on PPTP for my LAN (IP=192.168.7.5/255.255.255.0) on one of my Windows2000 Advanced server having permanent connetion to  internet (IP=a.b.c.d/255.255.255.240)and to my LAN,  successfully. All of my roaming clients (win98, win2000,winNT)  at remote locations are able to connect to my VPN server when they connect to their local ISP and can access each and every TCP/IP service  running internally on my Private IP machines (192.168.7.*) once they are authenticated.


I wanted similar implementation of VPN preferably using IPTABLES setup on RH7.2.(eth0-192.168.7.254/255.255.255.0, eth1-a.b.c.d/255.255.255.240) so that I can have same Windows clients accessing my LAN of private IPs using a LINUX VPN server maybe on ipsec/PPTP, or whatever windows operating systems also support. I know the performance is going to be great in LINUX.

Can anyone tell me about a good solution in LINUX OR the exact steps and IPTABLE commands OR links to documents, trying to achieve something similar?

iptables itself can't do tunneling. well, it could, but it's not exactly
designed to do it.

you should look for a linux implementation of a pptp server (I used one
a few years ago, and it worked fine ; search "pptpd" on google).

iptables itself can be used to implement a firewall.

I installed a pptp server on Linux as a test and it worked.  
Do a google seach for poptop.  I was able to connect with all windows boxes 
and width Linux clients.  There is even some documentation on what settings 
you have to choose for win2000 to get it working.
