I am trying to get a web server to use IPSEC when talking on port 80.

I have setup a web server, I want to setup IPSC to only allow secure communication on port 80.

I have tried to setup the IPSEC Filter etc but cant get it to respond..

Can anybody advise on how to do this ????
 
You don't. You use SSL instead.

If you set up IPSec for communications on the NIC, then you will only be communicating over the encrypted link with other systems that are configured to use IPSec when talking to that server. If you use SSL then you can force everyone to use encryption, regardless of where they connect from.
