hallo again,

just to make life easy for you adam, my scenerio is a freebsd box that
acts as a gateway/ firewall, which redirects vpn calls to my w2k server.

i don't have too much cisco experience (last time i used one was about 3
yrs ago) but as long as you do the following vpn connections should work:

allow proto's 47 50 & 51
tcp port 1723
and udp 500

I did state in my first mail that it was the pixes that were controlling the
vpn/encryption, but I may not have been clear.  So there it is again.  :)
Anyway, the 2 versions that we tried to upgrade to are:
c820-k9osy6-mz.12.3-1a (24/8) and
12.2(15)T4/5
Currently we are running:
12.2 (sorry this is all i could tell from the "show run" that I did)
The router is an 827-v4.

I see you are running : IP/FW Plus IPSec 3DES. I think the problem may be the key exchange between the PIX and the 
router or just the VPN tunnel configuration

Here are some links that may help you :
