I found it next to impossible to get VPN going on ARM linux, although I
may only have been a kernel rebuild away.
I finally managed to get my Iyonix onto the work network via Windows with
the VPN network connection 'shared for other users' i.e. Windows was
routing the VPN connection onto my local network. I think I may have had
to reset the IP address of my router as windows only likes to share an
internet connection on 192.168.1.1. Also setting up the network on the
Iyonix was a bit less than automatic, but once I'd got the nameservers
etc. sorted out I could save them.
Eventually I could connect to the IMAP server at work and use Messenger
Pro, although it was a bit slow to update the mailboxes.
As to ShareFS access, I didn't get the impression the question was really
about this, but the changes I made to get it working across subnets would
be essential.
