The IPsec implementation in Windows 2000 does work with FreeS/WAN (the Linux IPsec implementation), although not well. I think you need to use pre-shared secrets -- no public keys -- and configuration is a pain. No way to do a dynamic IP, either. Microsoft seems to view IPsec as a way to transport L2TP, rather than a full-fledged secure transport in itself. Microsoft still seems to favor PPTP as a VPN solution. I cannot say how well it works, as the security concerns with PPTP have kept me away from it. -- Ben Scott <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | The opinions expressed in this message are those of the author and do not | | necessarily represent the views or policy of any other person, entity or | | organization.
