Hi All, To get to the bottom of this problem I have decided to try to get the setup working with preshared keys. I now get different failure results.
On the Bering end I get packet from ip: ignoring Vendor ID payload responding to Main Mode next payload type of ISAKMP Indentification Payload has an unknown value: 32 probable authentication failure (mismatch of preshared secrets?) On the Win XP End (Oakley log) First error seen at next payload: NOTIFY then see received an unencrypted packet when crypto active Negotiation timed out I am at a loss to know whether the problem is at the XP end or the Bering Firewall end. Please help Regards, Simon. Hi All, I am trying to setup a Bering 1.2 firewall to allow a Windows XP client to connect to an internal network attached to the Bering box. I have already successfully got a Net-Net Ipsec connection working between two Bering firewalls using pre shared keys. I am now trying to add to this setup by allowing a Windows XP client to connect. I am essentially following the configuration as described by Nate Carlson http://www.natecarlson.com/linux/ipsec-x509.php When I try to ping the Bering internal network I get the following errors on the Bering box auth.log Ignoring Vendor ID payload {MS NT5 ... Responding to Main Mode Encrypted Informational Exchange message is invalid because it is for incomplete ISAKMP SA If I look on the XP Oakley log I see IKE failed to find valid machine certificate Received an unencrypted packet when crypto active As far as I am aware I have setup the certificates correctly. I think my first main question is, will this setup work. Should I be able to have both a Net-Net ipsec connection as well as a Windows XP roadwarrior connection as well. Any help will be much appreciated. I can provide further configuration details if necessary.
