[Openswan Users] Antwort: Re: Openswan + NAT-T + Checkpoint NGX

Hi,

I habe experienced similar behaviour, depending on the device that does 
the NAT:
E.g. many home-routers do have a setting called "SPI forwarding" or some 
such. 
SPI in this case stands for "Security Parameter Index", not to confuse 
with with SPI = "Stateful Packet Inspection", as some manufacturers call 
their firewalling.
AFAIK, SPI forwarding enables NATing of a single IPSec connection, when 
one of the peers does not support NAT-T.

If yout NAT device is configured for SPI forwarding, try deactivating 
that.

Best Regards,
Frank
