This is similiar to my situation. I solved the problem by creating a VPN
tunnel using IPCOP. Just put one box at each end, install, configure,
activate, you're done. Shouldn't take more than a few hours.
>Im pretty scared of putting a Windows box straight on the internet...
It's not THAT bad, as long as you do the big three (firewall, anti-virus,
patch OS) then you're pretty safe. Linux is nice, but security is a process
not a product, with a few minor exceptions (outlook, sendmail).
>Another question... Are there any good guides on securing Windows?
Ton's, what kind of info are you looking for?
