	Is the Nat-t encapsulation set up during the creation of the ipsec
tunnel?  i.e., if one side doesn't support Nat-t, the other side won't
use it?  After the ipsec connection is made, the pings from the XP box
don't arrive as nat-t encapsulated ESP packets, just raw ESP packets. 
If I get nat-t configured on the gateway side, will the client then
start using nat-t?  I just want to make sure everything else seems to be
normal before I start digging in too deeply to getting nat-t going on
the gateway side.
