Re: Conecting to an external VPN

Ok.. I would, but the VPN server is not mine.. it's our customers, and I'm
trying to connect to them.. the problem is with our ISA Server.. we don't
have any problem connecting to PPTP VPN servers, but this IPSec connection is
getting blocked..

Use PPTP

Since you are already creating a massive security hole by having users make
outbound VPN "calls" on their own,...the security difference between PPTP and
L2TP doesn't amount to squat.

Ok.. so still unable to connect..

There is no firewall client.. the client is SecureNAT..All protocols are
open by a firewall rule.. However, the connection still timesout.. I can see
in the isalog that the connection is been established, it's a IKE client in
port 500 connectoin..

can this be a NAT-T problem??.. but anyway I used the registry fix I
mentioned above.. so this issue is driving me crazy.. I just need to fix
this.. please help!!

The client I'm using doesnt have any firewall client installed, windows
firewall is disables, and I don't have any other firewall.. The default
gateway is poiting to my ISA server's internal NIC, so I suposse this makes

The Windows Firewall has nothing to do with the Firewall Client and it does
not
disable anything. But leave the thing turned off until things work,..you
just
can't leave that thing running when you are trying to troubleshoot things. I
never leave it running on anything anyway, I keep it disabled across the
entire
LAN,...it only comes on when using the laptops outside away from the
Domain,...GPO controls that.

it a SecureNAT

Still something is missing, coz the same VPN connects if I don't make this
client pass through the ISA server.. any ideas???

No I have no other ideas.
