Re: L2TP VPN problem/questions

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

I got a little further and now have a different error message. I installed a
certificate on my client machine (windows 2000 pro sp4) from my own internal
windows 2000 based Enterprise CA. I have referenced some of Tom Shinders VPN
Deployment kit docs but they assume your using windows server 2003 which I'm
not. So my certificate athority did not give the same options as his
directions specify. So I don't know if my cert is the right kind for the
job. Nevertheless, the cert error message is gone and I now get this:

Error 792: The L2TP connection attempt failed because security negotiation
timed out.

is windows server 2003 required or just easier?
