Does Linksys say that your device supports Windows 2000 IPsec? IPsec and
VPN implementations are very frequently different from vendor to vendor.
Also, if it did support Windows 2000 IPsec, I would think that Linksys would
have some documentation on how to make it work. If it supports client PCs
that want to connect using VPN from the internet to the internal network
behind the Linksys router, then I would think the router would come with a
CD with a VPN client installed or a list of where to get VPN clients and
which ones work.
