Generally speaking, I would try to use the most up-to-date version of strongSwan just to rule out that a bug that is already fixed causes the problem. You could configure the source code with s.th. like
./configure --prefix=/home/michael/strongswan_playground/ If you run "make install" afterwards, it copies the files into this dedicated directory instead of overwriting the existing version of strongSwan. What's the CA of the certificate you installed on the Windows 7 box? Did you store that in /etc/ipsec.d/cacerts. Please run ipsec listcacerts and provide the output to us. Also, a more comprehensive log file would be helpful. -Daniel Wihsböck Michael wrote: > Hi, > > I'm using StrongSwan 4.2.4 (default in Debian 5.0) and tried to enable it to > accept Windows 7 IPSec-VPN connections as desribed on > http://wiki.strongswan.org/wiki/1/Windows7.
