TweakUI for Win2K??

LoW_beta
Hi, I heard there was a version of TweakUI that works in Win2K. I tried the Win2K version from betabites and it was a no go. I get to the dialog that says this should be run from the control panel, yes or no.

VPN (Virtual Private Netowrking) w/ Win2k

Jabba
Never used VPN before, but I see that windows 2000 has both VPN server and client built in. I have my box here setup as a server (i think), how do I get win98 machines to become clients as there is no built in client software? My web searches reveal only 3rd party software VPN clients which are not free or shareware.
