Hi, I have two lilnux boxes with FreeS/WAN and NAT-Traversal compiled in. One of them is behind a NAT router that connects to the Internet using a satellite link, and the other has its own public IP behind a DSL router. I have tried the connection of the NATed linux box using a DSL router and all goes fine, but when I use the satellite link router, I get the errors: [...] May 4 13:54:21 FW1 pluto[16116]: packet from 81.47.250.201:1623: received Vendor ID payload [draft-ietf-ipsec-nat-t-ike-03] May 4 13:54:21 FW1 pluto[16116]: packet from 81.47.250.201:1623: ignoring Vendor ID payload [draft-ietf-ipsec-nat-t-ike-02] May 4 13:54:21 FW1 pluto[16116]: packet from 81.47.250.201:1623: ignori ng Vendor ID payload [draft-ietf-ipsec-nat-t-ike-00] May 4 13:54:21 FW1 [16116]: "vpn1"[9] 81.47.250.201:1623 #40: responding to Main Mode from unknown peer 81.47.250.201:1623 May 4 13:54:22 FW1 pluto[16116]: "vpn1"[9] 81.47.250.201:1623 #40: NAT-Traversal: Result using draft-ietf-ipsec-nat-t-ike-02/03: peer is NATed May 4 13:55:32 FW1 pluto[16116]: "vpn1"[9] 81.47.250.201:1623 #40: max number of retransmissions (2) reached STATE_MAIN_R2 May 4 13:55:32 FW1 pluto[16116]: "vpn1"[9] 81.47.250.201:1623: deleting connection "vpn1" instance with peer 81.47.250.201 {isakmp=3D#0/ipsec=3D#0} [...] I believe that there is no difference between the DSL NAT router and the satellite link NAT router, isn't it ? Which may be the problem ? Greetings. --- Carles Xavier Munyoz Baldó carles@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://www.unlimitedmail.net/ ---
