Hi there, MNF 8.2 uses freeswan for the vpn configuration, not L2PT or PPTP. You can find links in ML archive about this issue: http://doc.mandrakelinux.com/MandrakeLinux/90c/en/MNF-User.html/ http://www.natecarlson.com/linux/ipsec-x509.php cheers, -- Florin http://www.mandrakesoft.com http://people.mandrakesoft.com/~florin/
