IPSEC L2TP connections won't work behind a NAT firewall without
NAT-T... Unfortunately, NAT-T server side functionality isn't being
included in Windows XP (grr...)... Thus, the only way to do this is
to (1) - get a hardware IPSEC firewall router that supports NAT-T, (2)
run Windows 2003 Server... :(
Hopefully I'll learn more about this next week... :)
