While attempting to find out what is actually going on I've noticed that 
the rekeing occurs over UDP 500 -> UDP 500. Win2k doesn't even seem to 
nice this.

The standard makes me believe that it should at least send it to port 
4500, not 500. Can anyone who knows the NAT-T standard (or draft, 
since win2k seend to use draft 2) enlighten me on this ?
