    If you had any ipsec policies enabled, then they will no longer work and
you will not have any ipsec encryption/authentication/port filtering. If
not, nor plan to use any (including l2tp vpn) then I would think there
should be no problem. My guess is you might have had an ipsec policy
implemented , because the AH protocol does not work with most versions of
NAT. --- Steve
