Many routers are VPN aware and just seem to cope with ESP, my netgear does i set it to forward UDP500 and UDP4500 and ESP just seems to arrive at the correct place!. Is the Windows VPN wizard compatible with IPCOP? i am not familiar with it. ALl i know is that the VPN wizard in window will try to create either a L2TP (Layer 2 tunneling protocol) tunnel or a PPTP tunnel (point to point tunnunling protocol), either of which may or may not be wrapped in IPSEC security. If you want a "RAW" ipsec tunnle you cannot use windows VPN wizard. Look for Marcus Mullers IPSEC tool's. Regards Robin
Cheers! I'm pretty sure Win2k (which is what the College run) supports IPSec by default... I think I remember reading something about that for my MCP 215 exam... at least I hope it does! I certainly won't get permission to install 3rd party software on any of their machines, though. This isn't a vital project anyway. There is only really one machine that I want to be connect over a VPN... my class/lab has 10 machines connected to the College network, which uses a Netware proxy (doesn't seem to allow anything except http... pah!), 8 machines used for CCNA labs and 1 machine connected to an outside ADSL line. Guess which one I'll be trying to use the VPN on? It's basically so I can be lazy and not bother taking files in to College on my pendrive (or email them to myself). Well, I've enabled the VPN on my IPCop box (VPN IP defaults to red interface IP... makes sense); I've setup tcp+udp 500 to be forwarded from the modem/router to the IPCop box, but it needs saving+rebooting for the settings to take effect; I am in College tomorrow (doing a MSAccess MOS course) so I'll try connecting to the VPN tomorrow lunch. I'll report back on successes/failures. Thanks Robin.
