RE: [FW1] VPN-1 to MS Windows 2000 VPN firewall. Anyone tried thi s?




First you need to define more about the MS product.  Windows 2000 Advanced
Server does NOT come with ANY firewall software.  It does come with VPN
software.  There is a product available from MS being marketed as a
firewall.  "Internet Security Accelerator".  ISA is relatively new.  I've
installed it once.  My OPINION is that it is a decent firewall for a small
company that doesn't have anything of value that would attract dedicated
attempts by hackers.  It will probably stop most script kiddies.

The VPN - I doubt that you would be able to setup a site-site VPN with
Checkpoint and MS VPN.  I have heard success by a few people in getting a MS
VPN client workstation (ie single user) to connect to Checkpoint.

Subject: [FW1] VPN-1 to MS Windows 2000 VPN firewall. Anyone tried this?



Greetings,
    We have one company site with Checkpoint VPN-1 that we want to
connect through a VPN to another company.  The second company wants to
use the Firewall/VPN software that comes with Windows 2000 Advanced
Server.
    I haven't been able to find out much about this Microsoft Firewall.
How does it compare with VPN-1 (asking an unbiased group, I'm sure ;-)
?  Is it really a firewall, or a cheapy?
    Has anyone configured a VPN using the Windows 2000 product to
VPN-1?  If you could give me your experiences, it would really help out.

TIA,
John Schneider
