If they are using IPsec for the VPN you generally can't use it behind NAT and you have to set it up to work from the device that has the public address. However there is a new standard for NAT traversal for IPsec and a recent Windows update adds it for win2k and XP. I don't know if it needs additional support at the NAT gateway or if you need matching versions at both ends, though. --- Les Mikesell les@futuresource.com
