Situation:
I want to be able to set up a VPN connection from a dial-up client machine to my PIX.
The client machine is Win2k Pro and has the VPN Client 3.3.
I have set up the encryption license on the PIX as well.

How do I set-up an encyptedtunnel to the PIX and then how do I authenicate? The Cisco documents tend to be cryptic to me, any other documents out there?

Note: The client is not dialing-up to the PIX. They are dialing into an ISP first then connecting to the internet.

If you want simplicity. I can get you going in 10 minutes with PPTP.

Install routing and remote access on a 2000 box. Map its internal address to an external address.

static insideaddress outsideaddress netmask 255.255.255.255

Then open up the ports to allow your windows 2000 box to accept PPTP request.

conduit permit tcp host outsideaddress eq 1723 any
conduit permit gre host outsideaddress any

The best part is that you can use Windows 2000 authentication and with a flipof a checkbox in the user properties, you can give them remote access rights.

PS: clients use the built in Microsoft PPTP client in 98/NT/2000/XP. For other MS OS's you can download the DUN(dialup networking) 1.2 upgrade
