A. No. Windows 2000 and Windows XP will run IPSec over any supported adapter. The advantage of the PRO/100 S family of adapters is the fact that the adapter can offload the processor-intensive task of encryption. Using IPSec with adapters that do not feature the offload capability will have a significant impact on your computers CPU utilization.
