Mapping remote linux drive in windows...

[Adam J Bunton]

I have setup a VPN that I connect to from work an my laptop wherever I am.
Depending on the security that you want, use either pptp from
http://poptop.org or ipsec from http://www.freeswan.org.  Both work well,
with ipsec being a little more secure.  You will also need to setup samba so
that once you connect, you have shares to access.
