First, let me apologize if I get any (or all!) of the technical jargon
here confused, backwards, or just plain wrong.

Second, let me describe my situation.  I am using a Pentium 133mhz with
16MB RAM to run Dachstein 1.0.2 to share my internet connection among
the numerous computers in my house.  The router runs a DHCP server for
the computers on my internal network and runs a DHCP client to connect
with my ISP, but this is just for convienence as my ISP provides me with
a static IP.  The computers (Win98, Win2k, and WinXP) on my internal
network all work flawlessly through the router for "normal" internet
access.

My company provides access to its network over the Internet in the form
of a VPN (operated by a Windows 2000 Server, I believe).  I connect to
this VPN using Windows 2000 Professional.  All worked fine connecting to
the VPN through my home router until my company began using L2TP/IPsec
for the VPN connections.  Now, I get no response from the company VPN
server when trying to connect.  (Note, however, that I *can* connect
just fine when my computer is connected directly to my ISP, i.e. without
the interference of my LRP box.  So my sense is that there are no
configuration problems on the client computer, but rather something
wrong with my LRP configuration.)

Third, I know very little about Linux -- largely because I lack
experience -- but I was wondering if someone might point me in the right
direction on this problem.  As an additional bit of information, a guy
in the IS department informed me that UDP ports 500 and 1701 would be
involved in the solution, but I am not certain how to act on this
information in configuring my router.

I have begun to look at the ipsec.lrp package available for Dachstein,
but I have not been able to use it to solve my problems.  I do not know,
however, if this is a fault in my configuration of the package or if the
package does not support Level 2 Tunneling (L2TP).

If anyone has some experience in a similar situation or would be willing
to help a poor old guy trying to get his LRP box to work again, I would
much appreciate it.

Thanks,
Eric Friedman


P.S. Please note as well that while I am currently running Dachstein off
of a single floppy, I also have access to a CD or additional floppy
drive that I could install in the router box.  So do not worry about
offering solutions that may require more space than is available on a
single floppy: I just want something that will work.
