Yes, Windows XP includes IPsec support via the MMC/Security plugins. Unfortunately, it's a hideous mess to setup/maintain, IMHO. Folks with more experience running Windows XP's native IPsec support may argue otherwise, but that's why they're experts. ;-) For my money ($99-$129), most 3rd party IPsec Windows clients are worth it. -- Jason Dixon, RHCE DixonGroup Consulting http://www.dixongroup.net -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
