Installing and Configuring Microsoft SoftGrid – Application Virtualization for Terminal Services

IPSec is a network traffic encryption protocol. In this procedure I do a test of how to encrypt communications between a client PC (XP) and a server (2003). The server 2003 has the IP 192.168.0.3 and has FTP server enabled, the thing is that the XP is connected to the FTP server to download some files, but between those two PCs there is a 'kapuyo'’ With a sniff, and since FTP traffic and almost everything on the network is unencrypted then the 'kapuyo’ has taken out the password with which the XP has been authenticated in the 2003, all this happens in the same network, in the same domain (XP and 2003 At least). In order for all traffic to the server to be encrypted I will enable the IPSec services and on the client also to talk to each other in 'IPSec'.
