Hello,
I'm running XP SP2 and am trying to make a L2TP VPN connection to a
Cisco PIX501 at my office.
I'm not having great success and I've posted questions on Cisco's
newsgroup concerning the configuration of the PIX501.
My question here concerns setting up the VPN connection through XP.
A. Setup information background:
Home -> Cable modem -> Internet -> Work DSL Modem -> Cisco PIX501 ->
Server (I've taken my home router out of play to simplify).
Work DSL Modem IP = 1.1.1.30 Gateway (these numbers are for
explanation only)
Cisco PIX501 Outside Static IP = 1.1.1.29
Cisco PIX501 Inside IP = 10.0.0.1(internal gateway)
Server IP Inside = 10.0.0.2
B. I started the New Connection Wizard, checked connect to the
network at my workplace, checked VPN connection, gave it a name, told
it not to dial the initial connection, used 1.1.1.29 as the address of
the computer I am connecting to, my use only, and then click finish.
I then open the connection and go to VPN properties, go to the
security tab and check advanced (custom settings), click settings, use
require encryption, use allow protocols and check CHAP (I have this
set up on the PIX501), click IPSEC settings, enter the pre-shared key
and that appears to be all that needs to be configured on XP.
Where in all this configuration do I tell XP to use 3DES encryption,
MD5 authentication, and a DH Group = Group2 (1024bits). Cisco is
telling me I have to configure these items on the home computer before
I can get a connection to the PIX.
I've turned off the firewall at home to make sure that it won't get in
the way during this setup test.
I can't connect to work and would appreciate any input as to how I
configure XP to help me do so.
If I need to provide any further information, I will.
Regards,
Buck
