Hello all, I am configuring a vpn between freeswan and windows 2000. I am following th= e steps at http://www.jacco2.dds.nl/networking/win2000xp-freeswan.html, t= o get the VPN up and running. using this I have a ppp tunnel between wind= ows and linux, which is inside a l2tp tunnel which is again encrypted by = IPSec. (the url gives the configuration in detail and I have followed it = exactly) Now the windows gets the proper ip and every thing is working as it should = except udp brpadcast, which is the reason why I set up the vpn (for a sto= ck exchange, where the quots data comes as b'cast). Since the windows is = having an ip in the same network their is no reason why B'cast should not= work. I searched a lot for any pointer but I found only one MS Knowledge Base Art= icle No. 253169 which says that B'cast is not supported in Windows IPSec.= Is this the case with Linux also. Is their any thing that can be done to= send B'cast also. Any help here will be much appriciated. I am working t= hough Xmas to get this working :( raj
