IPSEC, am I missing something?

[Jim Stapleton]

OK, thanks.

Right now there are no "problems", I just am looking to figure out how
to connect to my works VPN from home. Right now I'm looking at the
actual VPN part, but after that I have to check how to do remote
desktop/terminal services for the windows server I have to work on.

Thank you,
