I think my previous response gave the impression that noiptun and arp -s are in fact functionally similar. In fact, arp -s will NOT let you connect to a machine without an IP address. It will let you send packets to it, but the machine will not process them since the IP you're sending the packets to does not exist there.
apr -s is another way to go, what noiptun provides however is the ability to connect to boxes across the internet, not just on the local network. Plus it can encrypt the traffic, so it gives arguably more security.

the machine running the client is usually assumed to be running on a bridge interface with no IP of its own. As such it won't be discarding any packets.
As far as the naming scheme for client/server, there is actually a good reason why the IP-less side is running the client while the end connecting to it is called the server. When the project began, the idea was to be able to use one "server" to connect to many clients, this functionality isn't currently there and there is at the moment only a one-to-one possible relationship, but the naming scheme makes sense viewed from that angle.
If you set it to sleep automatically when you close the lid (impossible under linux right now)
huh? It's a bios setting, it doesn't matter what OS is on it. I have Linux and Solaris9 on an old Thinkpad a20m and they both go to sleep just fine...solaris doesn't quite wake up properly but linux sleeps and wakes perfectly.

I had no issues installing fglrx-3.7.0 with the vanilla kernel-2.6.3. Just ran the rpm and it compiled the module with no complaints.

Sweet :)
and not so long ago, anyone remember Code Red? Former co-worker of mine saw the defaced page and that screenshot that was passed around was priceless
