I've played with IPSEC in the past, but I've always found it pretty confusing. Interoperability between different implementations seems to be spotty at best. David, I plan on putting some effort into this tomorrow (Tuesday). If you can, please provide the SonicWall model that you have, and the scenerio that you are trying to achieve. Such as, connect via VPN through the firewall to a Windows network from home, and/or using the SonicWall wireless VPN, ect. I just want to know what VPN solution you are trying to get here (there are quite a few choices). If you can do this, we may come up with a solution in the next couple of days. - James W. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

David, After screwing around with the SonicWall software with Wine (no-go) I found SonicWall's own Linux solution. I believe that this may be your solution as well. Check out: http://www.vpn-technology.com/Interoperability/SonicWALL%20VPN%20with%20Red%20Hat%20Linux.pdf and see what you think.

It assumes a static IP for the Linux system. Here's my scenario. I have a laptop that I take around to about a dozen different sites. I want to be able to create a VPN tunnel from the laptop to the SonicWall PRO 3060 in our main office, so I can access the office's Windows network securely. The main office has a static IP but the laptop obviously does not. It could be the solution in that article would work with a dynamic IP as well, but it's not clear to me how to make that work. Both the SonicWall and the Linux ends of their example have the other end's IP address hard-coded. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

We have a VPN set up for remote access to our main office network, via the SonicWall's IPSEC capability. I'd like to connect to it from a laptop running Linux, instead of having to boot into Windows 2000. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
