I never tried that.  I haven't had to troubleshoot a non-Vista client 
VPN issue since Vista shipped.  The best solution I've found is to 
uninstall, reboot and reinstall the latest BETA.  The solution is a joke 
but surprisingly it usually works.

There's a solution that I can sink my teeth into.

I've had to delve into it before, digging into the nitty gritty of 
IPSec.  It's doable but VPN isn't my strong point.  It is doable though. 
  I prefer your second solution.
