Ray- Check this doc out. It may help with the certificate stuff. http://nsa2.www.conxion.com/win2k/guides/w2k-12.pdf -----Original Message----- From: Costanzo, Ray [mailto:rcostanzo@xxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Monday, December 16, 2002 4:53 PM To: windows2000@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [windows2000] Re: IPSec This sounds like the ultimate solution. I want to have full access and block everyone else's, and although it's infrequent, my IP address at home does change from time to time. I figured I'd have to open up everything to our firewall at work too, and whenever my home IP address changed, I'd have to come to work, connect to my server, and update my home IP address to allow it. How do I get certificates? Can't I create my own? Is it along the same lines of digitally signing programs? I know that I can create my own unverified digital signatures, and while I get a warning that there is no trusted certificate authority, it'll still work. So, can I do that? This goes quite a few steps beyond what I know.
