InstructionsBoth Windows XP and Windows 2000 come with a a built-in IPSec client which allows users to secure their traffic from their machine to an IPsec server. This technology has been widely deployed to protect wireless LANs, as IPsec can be used to secure traffic as it passes over the air from the wireless user to the Bluesocket wireless gateway. Unfortunately, the built in Windows client can be a bit confusing to configure. To ease configuration and use of Windows IPsec, bluesocket has created a freely distributed tool. This document describes the installation, configuration and use of the Bluesocket Windows IPsec configuration tool. Installation: Download the following files: Double-click on Bluesocket MS IPSec Config Tool and install the software. When it is done installing, click on Start, Programs, Bluesocket MS IPsec Config Tool, and click the " BlueSocket MS IPSec Config Tool" icon. 
The Bluesocket IPSec tool will now be running in your system tray, near the clock at the bottom right-hand corner of the screen. 
Right-click on the Bluesocket icon and you will see a menu. Click on "Options" 
Go to the Advanced tab. Now click on the button to the right of "import policy." Browse your files and find the wireless.bin file you downloaded. Select the file and click "Open", then click "Import Policy." 
You will now see the "Import Successful" alert box. Click "OK" on the alert box. 
Under the Setup tab, select "bluesocket" in the dropdown box underneath "Policy To Assign." In the dropdown box for "Adapter to Assign," select the option for your wireless adapter.  This step is optional. Only do this if you want Bluesocket to run when you start your computer. Click the Options tab, and check the option for "Run at Startup." 
Now, go back down to the Bluesocket icon in the system tray, right click on the icon, and click "Connect." If the connection is successful, the red lines will turn yellow on the Bluesocket icon and will blink. 
When using the VPN client, make sure to click on the "Registered Users Authentication Server" and choose VPN_Users BEFORE you click to login. |
