[THIN] Re: OT: WatchGuard Firebox 700

I have a friend who runs the Firebox III 1000 model, and I have only enabled
PPTP access.  The L2TP/Ipsec implementation is rather flakey in my opinion.
The L2TP/Ipsec client installs a network shim driver that builds the tunnel
on the fly.  However, name resolution across the link is what's hokie.  It
doesn't work half the time.  Keep in mind, this is when I was running the
older 5.1 software.  I've updated the code since then, and is now running
6.2 HE (High Encryption).  I haven't tested the L2TP/Ipsec client recently,
so I don't know if Watchguard has changed anything.

But, I would stick with PPTP.

I used to run the original Watchguard Firebox II with nothing but dialup
PPTP vpn access.  Had no problems, was easy to setup even with the builtin
Win98 clients.

I'm looking for someone on the list using a Firebox 700 (or other Firebox
model).  My quandry is this:  I'm more or less taking over for my church on
admin'ing the servers and Firewalls.  In reviewing the Firebox doc's & web
forumns, I've found that I can turn on VPN, but it only supports PPTP (RSA
RC4 Encryption).  They have an IPSEC client that costs $200, but I don't
know if its worth it... The box won't do XP's L2TP & IPSEC, so is PPTP
sufficient, or do I ask (or pray) for the funding?  I'm not feeling too good
about PPTP alone... Thoughts?

Thanks,
Larry
