Hi

I have a configuration where I have a WinXP Pro SP2 machine running VPN
Server. It is on a LAN behind a router with NAT connected to Internet. The
client is on another LAN that is connected to the Internet via NAT router.
Ideally I want to use L2TP for the VPN with private shared key (not
certificates). There is a lot of information around about how to set up the
client side but not much about the server. I have port forwrded ports 1723
and 500 to my PC running VPN server and tested this works ok. I cant find
much information on how to configure IPSEC on the VPN server. I think I need
to change some security policies in order to use this with PSK. Are there
any good instructions on how to set the server side up?
 
Well, good luck doing that. I have never been able to figure it out how to
run XP as a IPsec/L2TP server and client. My solution is to run OpenVPN, a
free SSL VPN package...
