[PLUG] dumb vpn question

[Russ GilmanHunt]

Hi; it's me again :).
For reasons known only to the gods, I have permission from my lovely
wifey to install Linux on my laptop.  I like using it when I'm "out
and about" to connect, etc.  I was thinking it would be
extra-convenient if I could set up a vpn and then "see" the printer
and other network shares from whereever I happen to be "out and about"
to.
I have a debian ('testing') box in the basement; I have port 22
forwarded from the
comcast cable box's little router to it (so I can ssh into the Debian
box). The other computers on the network are windows beasts (windows
XP).

So; do I enable the little router thing's VPN support, and if so- do I
need to do anything else? Is there a good walk through available on
the web somewhere for this?

Thanks a lot-
