Thanks, I can now report that I got as far as having pptpconfig
connect a tunnel. Had to go to the PPTP server and reconfigure the
policies to not allow unencrypted tunnels (was set by default on
Windows 2000 Server).
But when I tried to get the LAN-LAN stuff working the Fedora box
completely lost its Ethernet connectivity.
I could no longer ping anything on the Internet...

So now I am down to troubleshooting the tunnel. While I am writing
this on Win-XP the Fedora PC is restarting, hopefully the networking
will be back in working order now.
Should really start a new thread with this troubleshoot...

Anyway I got a long ways tonight! Thanks.
