 me too:

 I've never quite been able to understand why Windows 2k Pro is not suitabel
for tunnel mode IPSEC.
 I keep hearing conflicting reasons as to why it doesn't work. Indeed my own
efforts only seem to work host to host.

 The general confusion has led me, and many other i suspect, to use the
relatively cheap "proper" IPSEC client implementations for win2k - eg
pgpnet, softnet, ssh sentinel... which work a treat!

 i'd be interested in hearing any definitive reasons as to why win2k doesn't
play nicely with iaskmpd or any other ike daemon.

Subject: General VPN question


Hello,

I would like to ask this question in this form to the list, because
perhaps somebody could prevent me from wasting much time, if the thing I
would like to do is not possible at all.

I would like to connect a Windows 2000 Professional to my OpenBSD 3.0
(clean install from CD) firewall over a VPN. Also access to the LAN
behind the firewall should be possible.
The firewall uses a PPPoE ADSL link with dynamic ip as internet
connection. I have manged a dyndns.org hostname for this connection.
The Windows 2000 Pro connects over a router, also dynamic ip, to the
internet.

Is it possible to build a VPN based on this setup?
If yes, what possibilities do exist?
I have heard Windows 2000 Pro has a build-in VPN client, but I have no
experience with it. Is it useful for what I want to do?
Is it possible with another VPN client?

Can anybody give me a hint, which direction to go? There are so many
options and I still do not see the hole picture, so I cannot find the
right direction to go or if there is a way at all.

Thanks in advance and best regards,

Sven Eisenhauer
