i say bah to it all..
Microsoft has released an update package to enhance the current functionality of the Layer Two Tunneling Protocol (L2TP) and Internet Protocol security (IPSec) on computers that are running Windows XP or Windows 2000. This update includes improvements to IPSec to better support virtual private network (VPN) clients that are behind network address translation (NAT) devices. If you apply this update to a computer that is running Windows XP and if the IPSec service encounters a runtime error and cannot start for any reason, the IPSec driver operates in block mode because it cannot secure network traffic. (The IPSec service appears as "IPSEC services" in the list of system services.)
he test scenario for these packages follows:
1. Uninstall the previous version of Hotfixes Q818043 by clicking the Change/Remove button in the Add/Remove Programs applet for the respective Hotfixes, if you have them installed.
* You can verify if you have these two package already installed via the following steps:
* Control Panel / Add/Remove Programs
* Open Registry Editor windows, go to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionUninstallQ818043
OR
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionUninstallQ815021
2. Reboot your test machine after the uninstall process has completed - this is required; you may have the system automatically reboot without any notification after the uninstall procedure is done. This is a known issue, and the fix is imminent.
3. Visit WU v4 beta site – http://v4beta.windowsupdate.com (pass req.). You will be offered the beta package, as well as two currently-live items without “Beta” in the title. Please, install only the packages with Beta in the title.
* Recommended Update for Windows XP (818043) - Beta
* Please download and install them.
4. Reboot your machine after the install is done - this is required.
