Sounds great and thx a lot for your help :-)) For those who are interested and have wifi windows xp clients. Recently I came across a tool called "smartvpn dial-up connection management" from draytek. It is a freeware (ipsec) client that makes it very simple to configure ipsec on windows 2k/xp. You will not have to use mmc + ipsec policy editor or ipseccmd.exe. It is available here: http://217.160.102.141/data/RouterTools/win/SmartVPN/SMARTVPN09_05.zip This tool does the following (based on your configuration choices), it dynamically creates the policies and activate/deactivate them when you need or don't need them anymore. I don't see a reason why it shouldn't not work with an openbsd ipsec gateway. Have a look at the client's "ipsec tunnel mode" (I think this is the one you will use) of the client. I personally did not have the opportunity to test it with openbsd (as I'm an ipsec novice) but I will make the test with openbsd current as soon as I can ... Regards Didier
