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. _______________________________________________ Leaf-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-user
