For the Nortel client that I use (under 5.1.2 - not sure of 5.5 yet) I used the following (the first line turns on the IPSEC masq properties in SME, the second expands the appropriate templates and restarts the required services).

/sbin/e-smith/config setprop masq ipsec yes
/sbin/e-smith/signal-event remoteaccess-update

Thanks for the reply. I wonder tho...is this used to vpn out from behind your SME Server to a remote location??

Thanks!!

Yes. I use a Nortel client on my notebook to connect to the office from home behind the SME firewall.
