Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance



Hi,

For L2TP connections, you require certificates in the machine store of your
client and server.
You have installed a certificate on the client. Do you also have a
certificate on the server ?
More info about certificates can be obtained from this link:
http://www.isaserver.org/img/upl/vpnkitbeta2/win2000vpnclient.htm

Check "Deploying computer certificates" from this site"
