Not just NAT-T... L2TP requires ISAKMP for setup as well. NAT-T, once
negotiated, floats to 4500. Oh, and just to follow up on the original
"NAT-T 4500" conversation, I ran a 3 *day* packet trace running both 1:1
NAT-T L2TP connections, as well as running 8 simultaneous NAT-T VPN's (L2TP
behind NAT) all sourced behind the same NAT device to the same ISA VPN
server (N:1) and every single NAT-T packet, from every single session (again
all simultaneous connections) were source and destination udp 4500. Every
single one.
So, while the RFC's are still in draft state, and while there does seem to
be some language about how the NAT-T response must reply on the same port as
initiated (after jumping to 4500) that support for non-4500 initiated NAT-T
tunnels might exist (presumably for older NAT equipment) the "source
4500/destination 4500" rule seems proper. In the well-over-a-year timeframe
that I have had both our border router ACL'd as such as well as the ISA VPN
server rules as such, I have never had to change a thing to allow NAT-T
connections- every packet from every NAT-T connection has always been
4500<->4500.
This is further supported by the Win2003 "Configuring Firewalls" technet
document stipulating one limit source and destination for NAT-T to 4500.
Just to follow up.

Use PPTP. "Port 500" is only useful for IPSec NAT-T

Subject: [isalist] VPN connection question.
http://www.ISAserver.org
What is the possible way for a remote client to connect to ISA 2000 on
Windows 2003 server to access the local domain/network if the remote client
is on a cable connection where port 500 is blocked?
