yes, you need to install OpenVPN on your IPCop, you can find OpenVPN as an
add-on for your IPCop distro.. on http://openvpn.net

no, you can't.. for an easy-to-use vpn you need to install a client on your
win2k, called OpenVPNAdmin, simple to configure..

> do i need to install OpenVPN client at home?

yes

> do i need to install IPCop at home?

no, you don't

> do i need to open port 1194 at my office firwall?

you need to open a port, not necessary the 1194, the 1194 is the standard
port on over Openvpn communicate with client to ecxhange the keys.. you are
able to change if you want...

> if yes how can i do that?

depends on what OS you use on your office firewall..

you need also to generate certificates to copy on your client and to let
server and client to estabilish a connection over the vpn..
