with an IPSec-Compliant Appliance
Instructions that tell how to configure a VPN tunnel between a
SOHO 6 Wireless and another IPSec-compatible appliance are
available from the WatchGuard Web site:

Special considerations

Think about these points before you configure your WatchGuard
SOHO 6 Wireless VPN network:
• You can connect a maximum of six SOHO 6 Wireless
appliances together in a star configuration. To configure more
VPN tunnels, a WatchGuard Firebox II/III with WatchGuard
VPN Manager is necessary.
• The two appliances that make a VPN tunnel must each have a
static IP address. If an appliance has a dynamic IP address,
packets sent from the other end of the tunnel will not get to
their destination. See "Network addressing" on page 41 for
more information about dynamic IP addresses.
• Both appliances must use the same encryption method; either
DES or 3DES.
• When two Microsoft Windows NT networks are connected, the
two networks must be in the same Microsoft Windows domain
or be trusted domains. This is a Microsoft Networking design
implementation and not a limitation of the SOHO 6 Wireless.
