Afternoon,

For the last few hours I've been trying to find informative information 
regarding VPN'ing to smoothwall boxes together.

I haven't had much luck so I thought I'd try HUMBUG.

What I have found so far is that you need a     LEFT, LEFT SUBNET, LEFT 
NEXT HOP,
                                                 RIGHT, RIGHT SUBNET, RIGHT 
NEXT HOP ,
                                                 SECRET and a NAME.

All these things are located on a CGI page on the smoothwall box.

The secret and the name thing are not a problem.

I know the following;

LEFT = My house
RIGHT= His house.

And that his page must be exactly that same as mine.

My network is  192.168.1.0/24   gateway = 192.168.1.1
Friend          192.168.0.0/24  gateway = 192.168.0.1

we are both on the same cable network and we can ping each other's external 
IP addresses.

What I am trying to ascertain is what bits of information do I put in each 
box on the smoothwall VPN config page.

I have tried a number of things with no success, if anyone can help, or 
provide a link to an informative site, then that would just be rock and roll.
