Hi, I had a real ***** of a time getting this to work...here are the settings I have that work. My router is a dlink dfl-700 so your mileage may vary. You'll need to download a free program called IPSecuritas http://www.lobotomo.com/products/IPSecuritas/ My config on the router: Authentification: PSK Tunnel type: roaming user "require user auth via IKE XAuth to open tunnel" is *unchecked* IKE mode: main mode IKE My config in IPSecuritas: mode: host to network remote network: 192.168.0.0/24 local address: (blank) exchange mode: main proposal check: obey nonce size: 16 phase 1: lifetime: 28800 seconds dh group: mod1024 (2) encryption: aes 256 authentification: sha1 phase 2: lifetime: 28800 seconds pfs group: none encryption: aes 128 authentification: hmac sha1 options: these are *on* compression/deflate IPSec DOI SIT_IDENTITY_ONLY initial contact Passive MIP6 DHCP pass-through establish IKE immediately these are *off* generate policy verify identifier verify certificate Good luck!
