HI, my second VPN client (Extranet Access Client) gives the following error message: BannerSock: The attempt to connect timed out without establishing a connection. i am using Extranet Access Client windows 2000 linux firewall with iptables masq. Is iptables masq supports IPsec pass-thru or not? or is there any other way to make my ipsec client connections up through linux firewall with iptables. regards ===== Subramanian ThenralMani Team Leader Yukthi Systems Pvt.
