VPN Connection Headache Richard 01-14-06

I am having a problem trying to connect.


The client is running on a W2K Server which is part of an SBS 2003 Std.

I have a Netscreen 5 Firewall with UDP and ESP ports open.


When I connect it resolves the destination name and seems to
authenticate, then it attempts to retrieve Configuration settings from
the remote host, however this part returns a BannerSock Error: "The
attempt to connect timed out without establishing a connection".


When I look at the monitor I have been assigned an IP but I am not
connected to the remote network, and after awhile I get a message back
saying the connection has been lost.


I have had this working in the past, but I think some settings have
changed on the SBS server, and I am at a loss as to where to
troubleshoot next. I believe that the client access is getting out of
the internal domain and managing to authenticate but informtaion is not

getting back to the Access Client.


Any advice would be appreciated
