I'm guessing... you have a Windows box that is VPN'd and you'd like
to use that as a gateway for your Linux host (so it can use the VPN)?

It is a whole lot easier to setup the other way around.  What VPN
solution are you using?  I use Cisco using the open source
client.  It's possible with that using Linux as the gateway.
