I have yet to hear of an IPSec-based VPN that gives a hoot whose product is on each end.  Granted, vendor quirkiness can make getting these things to talk a bit tricky, but that makes it sometimes 'a pain,' not 'impossible.'

 

And if we are talking FW-1 to FW-1 here... ok, I'll admit, I haven't touched a Nortel yet, saying that that fundamentally 'won't work' sounds like a bit of a stretch.  A quick call to Checkpoint should put that to rest.

Hi there,

We're currently in the throws of implementing FW-1, however, our web site is hosted by our MSP and we wanted to set up a permanent VPN to them (firewall to firewall VPN).

Our MSP uses a Nortel 'hardware box' and we want to use FW-1 on an Intel server. Our MSP insists that FW-1 > Nortel VPNs won't work, even though I'm under the impression that nortel firewalls use FW-1!!

Can anyone verify this? If this is the case, can anyone suggest away of keeping our intel server and still creating a VPN with the MSP?

If this is proven TO WORK can someone send me some supporting docs?

Cheers,

Stuart C
