PPPoE over Cipe for NT people

["Yves Smolders" <yves.smolders,AT,pandora,DOT,be>]

Hey everyone,
?
I was reading the website <A 
href="http://user.cs.tu-berlin.de/~normanb/";>http://user.cs.tu-berlin.de/~normanb/?that
 
provides Windows 2000 users with native PPPoE solutions that present 
themselves 
as a Network Interface Card to the OS, to replace the crappy PPPoE driver 
that 
is included with a well known ADSL product in Belgium.
?
When reading I saw that PPPoE is compatible with 
any interface that supports Ethernet.
?
Now I read in this group that the Windows CIPE 
version presents itself as a full Ethernet device.
?
Haven't tested it yet, but using PPPoE over CIPE 
might be a possibility, presenting Windows users with a solution that 
requires 
no static routing tables & multiple subnets, just "RAS dial in" put over the 
Internet, and at the Win2000 "incoming connections" provide a static range of 
IP's within the subnet you use - presto, browsing the network over 
Internet...
?
I know PPTP and IPSEC in W2K are solutions for this 
as well, but they don't work well over NAT and PAT, something CIPE doesn't 
really care about.? L2TP can be used in W2K as well, without IPSEC, when 
registry is "hacked" but that doesn't offer security.
?
If I have the time I will try to do some 
experiments.
