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. -----Original Message----- From: John Schneider [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, September 13, 2001 1:31 PM To: Firewall-1 Mailinglist 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 *********************************************************************** * John D.
