strange connection of port 500

[Vu Pham]

Port 500 is ISAKMP, part of the IPSEC, as far as I understand. My cisco
router ACL uses these for the VPN connection.

Do you have VPN enabled on your router ?

Subject: strange connection of port 500

Ok, back to the saga of the DSL modem, I finally just caved in and kept the
DHCP connection with it port forwarding http to my machine on port 80. It
has been slow as hell and checking the modem I'm finding another service
enabled to passthrough, here it is:


Service Name
IPSEC ALG
Type
Port Forwarding
Port 1     
  
Protocol
TCP/UDP
Global Port(s)
500
Base Host Port
500
Port 2     
  
Protocol
TCP/UDP
Global Port(s)
500
Base Host Port
500

Anyone know what that is?? I didn't set it. Ric
