Thanks in advance for any help with this.

Company LAN
Firebox 700 with MUVPN option
Win 2k servers & pro clients in a domain based network
ADSL account with fixed IP address

Home Office
Win 2k Pro box running with the MUVPN client installed
ADSL account with fixed IP address

What I'm Trying To Do
I read in a article that it is possible to make a 'main mode' (not the default 'aggresive mode') VPN tunnel using the MUVPN client and a manually configured IPSEC tunnel on the Firebox 700.

I have configured the Firebox tunnel, gateway, IPSEC route etc.

I have created a standard profile for the home based client and installed it. I then went on to edit it's properties, selecting Main Mode under the Security Policy node, enabling 'Perfect Forwarding Secrecy (PFS)' and choosing 'Diffie-Hellman Group 2' for the 'PFS Key Group'

I can't get it to complete the tunnel formation and receive the following error reported in the MUVPN log viewer at which point it all comes to a grinding halt:

SENDING>>>>ISAKMP OAK MM *(ID, HASH, NOTIFY:STATUS_INITIAL_CONTACT)
RECEIVED<<<<ISAKMP OAK MM (Retransmission)
RECEIVED<<<<ISAKMP OAK MM (Retransmission)
message not received! Retransmitting!

Any ideas?
Any FAQ's or sites showing how this should be done. I'll write a FAQ when someone has helped me crack it because it seems a great way to create a cheap max security SOHO like VPN tunnel.

Thanks again
