   Hey all,   
      
   I've got a home network between a router/firewall with NAT and SPI.   
   I'm running XP Pro on the client and server machines.  PPTP VPN to my   
   network works fine from dial-up or other access point.   
      
   But I need to VPN from a cell phone GPRS connection that has a private   
   IP (10.x.x.x).  The only port I know to be open over the GPRS   
   connection is http's 80.  That since I can surf sites without trouble.   
   ftp does not work, nor does https, for example.   
      
   I'm not well versed in VPN.  Any way I can make this connection?  Is   
   there a software package that can do VPN over a regular http   
   connection?  If not a true VPN connection, is it possible to set up a   
   web server on the network and log in/transfer data securely over http?   
      
   I was told to look into a proxy.  I'm not clear on exactly what this   
   would do for me.  Basically, would I make requests of the proxy and   
   have it forward requests for me?   
      
   Please point me in some direction where I can learn more about these   
   issues.  What I've learned so far is mostly from lots of   
   Dejanews/group reading and some VPN sites, but I'm still in the dark   
   about so much.   
      
   Thanks, Doug
