-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello again, I have heard of IPSec NAT-T as you can see from the subject of my original post. In fact as I said before a --> Single <-- IPSec Connection works just fine through our Linux Gateway/Firewall. My problem is getting --> Multiple <-- Ipsec connections from multiple client machines to work simultaneously. What do I need to do to get this working on my Linux NAT Gateway/Firewall? Is there a compile time option in netfilter or the kernel I need to enable? Or is there some module like nf_conntrack_ipsec or nf_nat_ftp I need to load? The network admin's from the remote network that we are connecting to are pushing me to remove the Linux Gateway/Firewall and replacing it with a Cisco router that they say will allow this. I'd rather stick with our Linux Gateway/Firewall if possible, and I think it should be capable of this. Once again any help would be appreciated. P.S. I realize a site to site VPN would probably be the best way to do this but the admin's from the remote network will not allow this due to their security policy. Thank you, Kristopher L.
