Microsoft ICS Direcway and Raptor Mobile v6.5.3 Help??

[alexbaldwin]

Please Help:

I have the following configuration.

I am trying to connect a remote user with a Windows 2000 pro workstation running Raptor Mobile v6.5.3 to a raptor firewall. The remote user connects using Microsoft ICS on a Windows XP box which is attached to a Direcway two way satellite system.

The tunnel connects OK, but no data passes. no ping nothing.

There are numerous errors in the raptor mobile log file, but I have noticed that those errors show up each time I install raptor mobile on different machines.

I have sniffed both sides of the network and ICS seems to be passing all traffic it recieves to the outbound interface.

For some reason after the tunnel connects, I see all of the traffic from the win2k box originating from 127.0.0.1 and destined for the raptor firewall (in the clear).

I would have expected to see an IP 50 (ESP Packet from the client instead)

Any help????

Microsoft's ICS is not supported with the VPN client.

The best I can tell, nothing is supported when it comes to the Raptor firewall. Did you read the above information, ICS passes every packet placed on the wire. Also I have tested other VPN clients and they work fine through ICS, why would Axent be unique?

I did read the above information. My assupmtion, which could be wrong, is that the reason that ICS is not supported is due to the fact that it is insecure, say to session hijacking. Other vpn clients may or may not follow the same standards that the Symantec client does. The fact that the esp packets are passing is great. The tough part about IPsec is not passing the packets, it is the encryption and decryption at each endpoint. That is where ICS causes the problem.
