Hi All,

I want to create tunnel between two PCs.  One PC is running
Openswan-2.4.10on Linux platform(Suse
10.1) and the other PC is on Windows XP (with Service Pack 2).  I have
Greenbow Client Software which could be run on my Windows PC.  I have two
GPRS modems which are connected to these two PCs. Now I want to create VPN
tunnel between these two PCs using IPSec that is using  Openswan.  Is it
possible to make this setup work successfully ?

I have tried using PSK (Pre Shared Key) as authentication and as well as
using X.509 Certificates.  But I could not create the tunnel in both ways.

Can you please suggest or tell your comments about the feasibility this
configuration ?

Using PSK, Greenbow client software shows the following error.

My ipsec.conf as follows:
version 2.0

config setup
 plutowait=yes
 interfaces=%defaultroute

conn %default
 leftrsasigkey=%cert
 rightrsasigkey=%cert
 authby=secret
include /etc/ipsec.d/examples/no_oe.conf

conn west-east
 left=117.97.141.229
 right=117.97.150.166
 type=tunnel
 keyexchange=ike
 ike=3des-md5-modp1024
 auth=esp
 pfs=yes
 esp=3des-md5
 auto=start
 dpddelay=30
 dpdtimeout=120
 dpdaction=hold

My ipsec.secrets as follows:

117.97.141.129 117.97.150.166 : PSK "temporary"

The IP Addresses (117.97.141.129 & 117.97.150.166) for these two machines
are got from the Internet Service Provider once I get connection through
GPRS.
Based on the ipsec.conf file, I am setting changes in the Greenbow VPN
Client Software in Phase 1 and Phase 2.

I am getting fatigue if i try using X.509 certificate for the above
configuration.  Kindly which method either using PSK or X.509 is okay for
this configuration to make it up successively.

Kindly give your suggestions...

Regards,

Mohamed Mydeen A
