What do you mean 'to a SonicWall firewall'? I can use http or https to

firewall to a PC/Server behind the firewall? If so, just set up the
appropriate port forwarding to the machine behind the firewall (which may
need a static IP). Your remote laptop should not require a static IP.

I think you missed the word "VPN" in my original message. We have a VPN
set up for remote access to our main office network, via the SonicWall's
IPSEC capability. I'd like to connect to it from a laptop running
Linux, instead of having to boot into Windows 2000.

I caught the VPN part, where exactly is the issue? I have used IBM's emulator
to access an AS400 behind a SonicWall with both Linux and Windows (mostly
Linux though), as well as VPN to a Windows Server 2003 domain. Does the
SonicWall log show that your VPN attempts with Linux are being blocked, or
are you having trouble setting up VPN with Linux?
