Hi Jaco,

There is no Preshared Key facility with Incoming Connections - but L2TP with
Certificates is possible.
You need to install certificates on the client and if your server is not in
the domain, install certificates on it by exporting from a machine which is
in the domain and importing on your Incoming Connection server.

You will need both .pfx cert (in personal store) and .cer cert (in Trusted
Root CA store).

Check out the HELP facility available with Certificate Snap in on how to
import and export certs.
Steps:
Start -> Run -> MMC -> Add / Remove Snap in -> Add ->
Certificates ->Close -> Ok
Then check the HELP menu.

Thanks,
Priya.
