I run woody and vmware 3.2 with Windows 2000 as the virtual machine. I have both host and bridge mode running so I can connect to the local host system as well as have a bridged connection. > There are other products, such as Cisco's VPN line which support > IPSec encapsulated inside of UDP packets, which work perfectly in > every NAT enviornment I've worked with, and I've personally tested > it in VMware on win2k on debian in bridged mode behind a NAT box > with flawless results. I use the Nortel Contivity VPN Client and it works perfectly. It uses IPSec as well and works with NAT. > I think I read recently that the IPSec-over-UDP implimtation > is to be(or perhaps already is) integrated into the 'official' > IPSec spec, so chances are more vendors will support it in > the future.

It's been a pretty good work-around that has solved all the addressing problems I'm aware of. I also like the freedom it provide in creating private newtworks. I wonder if IPv6 will ever take off. jc -- Jeff Coppock Systems Engineer Diggin' Debian Admin and User -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
