RAS IPSEC/L2TP and Preshared Key

[Guest]

Had a little assistance with the Certificates setting this up thanks sharroon. For some reason I couldnt get this to work though. I think it has something to do with Nat and the firewall not sure though. Anyways I'm also trying to set up RAS standalone server to use a preshared key. I enabled RRAS and opened up IP Security policies both the server and the client and placed the same preshared key and assigned it. I enabled the user in the local users mmc for remote access. For some reason I only get a pptp connection on my lan. Server is the same 192.168.1.3 and client is 192.168.1.6. Can anyone tell me if there are additional steps I need to take? Having troubles setting up it this RAS connection using IPSEC with certificates or preshared key. I'm thinking its my linksys router is not allowing authentication or something. Any assistance again would be greatly appreciated.
