Brian: Heya. not sure if you knew, but there are 2 or 3 other steps to getting an IPSec VPN client working from behind a Dachstein firewall/router. Just holler if you'd like the gory details. As for the firewall rules...what you write is close, but a bit off. Have a look in the echowall.rules file in the echowall.lrp package. It's got a whole section for IPSEC.
Hope this helps! -Scott > Hello- > I am running the Dachstein LRP and I want to open up port 500 so I can > connect to the vpn at work from home.
