Windows 7 VPN connection to Juniper SSG5
I have a VPN setup on a Juniper SSG5 with Screen OS 6.3 installed. It works great using the NCP Secure Entry Client software. But, I would like to know if I can get this working with the native VPN client that is included with Windows 7.
The type of VPN I am using:
1) IPsec to a tunnel gateway IP
2) pre-shared key
3) Fully qualified username
Will Windows 7 support this type of VPN or do I need to create another type of setup in the firewall?

I will say try it on Win7 first.
I was not succesful with that; however, that does not mean the Windows 7 client won't work.
I do use NCP Secure Entry and find it to be best of breed by far. I use it with Juniper and it works through double NAT arrangements. So I stick with it.

I heard people had mixed results with this. But then again why go from a Mercedes or Porsche to a Honda Civic 8) If you must rely on and trust your VPN connection NCP is the best in class.

Ok, so it looks like I cannot use what is included with windows. How about a free VPN client? I heard Shrew was good. Any experience with that?
