Hi,

Can you share the document with me also for L2TP with IPsec.
But the answer to question that whether built in win2k client will
support PPTP/IPsec with PIX or not is still not clear??? It failed for
me as well when i tried

regards
Madhur

This is true, but I would rather use L2TP/IPsec than PPTP/IPsec [PPTP
being
insecure, proprietary etc.].
I wrote a paper about this [Win2K to cisco router via L2TP/IPsec] that
I'll
send you in a private mail.

Given you obviously invested quite a lot time into get it running with
PPTP
I'll try to help you there...

Please provide the relevant parts of your config [after erasing
usernames,
IPs and things], i.e. IPsec configuration, NAT config, access-lists.

Please provide output of 'debug crypto ipsec' + 'debug crypto isakmp' on
the
PIXs side, and from ipsec-debugging on W2K (how to enable this is
described
in the paper mentioned above).

Do you see anything in the PIXs logfile [debugging level]?

Always remember the flow of packet an the access-lists involved... e.g.
a
packet coming back from a box inside the LAN has to pass the IP
access-list,
the NAT access-list [packet must _not_ be handled by NAT] and the crypto
access-list. Do they all match in a correct manner?

On the level specified by you IPsec config, maybe DES [56-bit], or 3DES
[112-bit]. You should always use the latter one [needs a separate
license].

> Any solution?

Possibly, but need more info...


A happy new year to all list members,
