Hi,
One of my clients has just bought a Cisco PIX firewall and I will be
attempting to set up a VPN connection to them. Do you know if the PIX
firewall can accept an IPSEC connection from a dynamic IP address.
I have read that FreeSWAN can, I know that Checkpoint and W2K can't.
I don't want to spend too much time attempting the impossible.
