Leon is right in that the Cisco VPN Client 1.1a won't work with Win2k/XP, and the version 3 client won't work with a router based vpn, (need a PIX etc). To be able to use the v3 client with a router based vpn, we have to wait for the release of IOS 12.8, which is being delayed due to problems with the VoIP code.
I'm waiting, and last I heard, it was due at the end of march. (Mind you, I was told the end of December too!)

First off it does not run on xp or win 2k (unless you use 3.0 and to use 3.0 you need a vpn concencentrato) ((list please correct me if I am wrong)). If you use a vpn concentrator you should be fine however if you are doing what I was trying to do (vpn into my network at home using ipsec from a win xp machine) that will not work. First off all you have to use the M$ dial up network adapter for a vpn client and for some reason this and cisco can't work together (funny I thought ip-sec was an rfc standard). "Supposedly" Cisco is going to release a new ios in Feb. (oh wait it is march) that allows you to use the m$ dial up adapter to use IP-Sec. I am sorry but I do not know the answer to your second question but I would bet that most proxy based firewalls could use some kind of generic proxy if this is a well known protocol. HTH, Leon - -----Original Message----- From: Maxime Rapaille [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, March 08, 2002 3:03 AM To: 'Security-Basics (E-mail)' Subject: VPN and Cisco +IIOP question Dear listmembers, 2 questions on this great list : (And I already made search on google.. Hopefully on the right way.) first one, Do you have any experience with VPN client (Software) compatible with the Cisco IPsec VPN? I already found the Cisco client itself, but we would like to have a panel of product, in order to make a better choice. I found Also the PGP VPN client, but not 100% sure he is compatible. Is the Windows 2000 IPsec compatible ? Any experience, link, feed-back, products info is really appreciated. Second question is concerning the IIOP protocol. Does some of you know a firewall/proxy, capable of handling this protocol ? I know Firewall just know it, but does not proxy nor analyse it (like he does for HTTP, SMTP, FTP). I read about Gauntlet Firewall, but was no more able to find a paper or precise Doc about it. Any other idea? Proposal, Links...? Thanks a lot for all positive feed-back. Have a great week-end all.
