VPN SBS2003 RTA020

[John Morch]

Hi,
Trying to get VPN going to a SBS2003 server with a RTA020. Just using
standard XP professional laptops so its all "standard" microsoft.
Has anybody achieved this?
If not then what ADSL Routers has anyone used for this?
Thanks
John

From memory,

VPN on the RTA020 is pretty much non-existant... The only reason I
managed was because my employer forked out lots of $$$$ to implement a
NetScreen VPN that allows NATing and just required a small software
client install on my comp.

I'm fairly sure the RTA020 screws with packets... plus it doesn't
actually have any facility for pinholing things like GRE (only TCP and
UDP) like the old nokia M1122's did.

Cheers,
Jared

If its that NAT causing the problem, consider using IPSec with NAT-T instead

IPSec NAT traversal (NAT-T), a new standard for allowing Encapsulating
Security Payload (ESP)-encapsulated traffic across one or more NATs.
IPSec NAT-T is described in the Internet drafts titled UDP
Encapsulation of IPSec Packets (draft-ietf-ipsec-udp-encaps-02.txt)
and Negotiation of NAT-Traversal in the IKE
(draft-ietf-ipsec-nat-t-ike-02.txt). IPSec NAT-T defines changes to
IPSec protocols and new Internet Key Exchange messages and payloads
that are exchanged between two IPSec NAT-T-capable peers. IPSec NAT-T
must be supported by both the client and server.

Windows Server 2003 and Microsoft L2TP/IPSec VPN Client support IPSec
NAT-T. The L2TP/IPSec NAT-T Update for Windows XP and Windows 2000
provides VPN client IPSec NAT-T support for Windows 2000 and Windows
XP. For details about this update, see the Knowledge Base article
L2TP/IPSec NAT-T Update for Windows XP and Windows 2000
