Does anyone know how to set up a L2TP VPN connection between two Windows XP
computers. PPTP does work, but gives to many problems over two NAT / FW
connections using Alcatel Speedtouch 510 devices.

I'm currently receiving several error's like 789 or 781 when connecting to
the VPN server.
Unfortunately there not much to configure on the server side (incoming
connections). Does anyone knows how to install a certificate on the server
side or add a pre-shared key.
I'm wondering if it is even possible to create such a connection!

Any help is deeply appreciated
Jaco
