VPN Issue
Hi all

I wish to connect to my works network via a vpn which they have setup. the only trouble is it is more windows friendly than unix. By this I mean connecting via windows everything is automatically setup (routes etc) - not so with linux. I am a relative newbie with respect to vpn routing so would appreciate any help.

It is my understanding that when creating a vpn tunnel the client side and server side usually end up on the same network and then u just have to add a route to see the clients behind the server (done this before)....however when I start my tunnel I connect fine but end up with a client address of 10.x.x.x and a server address 193.x.x.x so I have both ends of the tunnel on what looks like totally differnet networks. so how do i route between the two? Everything thus far has failed - not so much as a ping. I have removed the default gw (provided by my isp) and substituted for my end of the tunnel - nothing . If any of this sounds vaguely familiar to anyone I'd appreciate any pointers. I am running slackware 9 - I can offer more info if anyone has any ideas

many thanks

wincommand

WinCommand(1x)						   AfterStep X11 window manager 					    WinCommand(1x)

NAME

       WinCommand - AfterStep module for choosing and manipulating windows based on patterns

CONFIGURATION OPTIONS

DESCRIPTION

       WinCommand  is  a  command  line  tool  which allows you to select windows based on their name and to then manipulate them in various ways.
       Actions currently supported are: "center", "center jump", "iconify", "jump", "kill", "move", "resize" and "sendtodesk".

DEFAULTS

       The default pattern is "", meaning all windows will be selected.

       All other default-values depend on the action you would like WinCommand to take. If more than one action is specified,  default-values  are
       set depending on the last action specified.

ACTIONS

       center

	      Place matching windows into the center of the screen.

       center jump:

	      Places first window that matches into the center of the screen and jumps to it.

       iconify:

	      Iconifies matching windows.

       jump:

	      Jumps to the first window which matches.

       kill:

	      Kills all matching windows.

       move:

	      Moves all matching windows to x/y. x and y are specified using the -x and -y flags.

       resize:

	      Resize all matching windows. The two parameters width and height are specified using the -width and -height flags.

       send_to_desk:

	      Send all matching windows to desk specified with the -new_desk flag.

OPTIONS

       -all

	      Operate on all windows which match the given pattern. This is set by default unless the action is either "jump" or "center jump".

       -alldesks

	      Windows on all desks will be taken into account. This is set by default if action is either "jump" or "center jump".

       -desk

	      Windows on the whole desk will be taken into account.

       -x/-y

	      These are required when issuing the move-command.

       -width/-height

	      These are required whenever you want to resize windows.

	      Examples WinCommand -pattern term iconify

	      This command will iconify all terminals. Since the specified pattern is a regular expression, something like this also works:

	      WinCommand -pattern "(term)|(moz)" iconify

	      This will iconify all terminals and mozilla-browser windows.

	      WinCommand -pattern xmm jump

	      will jump to your xmms. In this situation, it's far more advisable to use GWCommand though.

	      It is probably not a good idea to delete windows while windows are being arranged.
