Can the native IPSEC component in Windows 2000/XP connect as a VPN Road Warrior?
Applies to: NetMAX VPN Server Suite version 3.1 - 4.0x

The native IPSEC component in Windows 2000/XP can not make a Road Warrior connection to the 3.x versions of the NetMAX VPN Server Suite, because it does not support IPSEC aggressive mode negotiation.

The native IPSEC component in Windows 2000/XP only supports certificates for Road Warrior connections when using Microsoft's proprietary L2TP VPN protocol, which NetMAX does not support. This makes it unusable as a Road Warrior VPN client with NetMAX 4.x.

The Windows 2000/XP IPSEC component can support making a VPN connection to a NetMAX VPN Server Suite using Main Mode. Instructions are in the VPN Server Suite documentation.

If you would like to make a Road Warrior connection to a NetMAX VPN Server Suite using Windows 2000/XP, you will need a third party VPN client, such as SafeNET's SoftRemote.
