I have a file server, 2003 sp2, that has backup software and a tape drive we
want to use to backup another server. This file server is unable to browse
the network to add that server through the backup application or through
network neighborhood. It's only when I remove the "server request security"
IPSec policy that it is able to browse the network. Does anyone know why
this behavour might be occurring?

Thank you
 
If you are in a domain you need to make sure that your domain controllers
are exempt from the ipsec policy because domain controllers can not use
ipsec to communicate with domain member computers and even an ipsec request
policy will cause problems. Even a properly configured ipsec policy can
cause some problems since there is lag involved in setting up the security
associations or if the initial attempt to use ipsec fails because the
computer trying to access it does not have an ipsec policy that will allow
ipsec to be used such as a client/respond ipsec policy. The lag time can
cause some communications to fail. There is an excellent resource on
troubleshooting ipsec in the ipsec domain isolation guide in chapter 7 at
the link below. --- Steve
