What do you mean it can not see the domain - through a VPN connection or
otherwise??

You do not have to use IAS. It is convenient if you have multiple rras
servers in that you can configure Remote Access Policies on just the IAS
server. So you may want to try to do without the IAS server until problems
are resolved to rule it out as a problem.As far as certificates, you may
first want to test with preshared key assuming you have an XP VPN client.
When you install certificates, you need to install computer certificates on
both the VPN client and VPN server. If IAS will be used, then the IAS server
will need a computer certificate [or IAS/RAS certificate] or pre shared key
if used [recommended for testing ONLY]. Keep in mind that since L2TP uses
ipsec that it will not work over a NAT connection unless you have the NAT-T
client installed on the VPN client. Also any firewalls have to allow L2TP
traffic that uses different ports/protocols that pptp such as 1701 UDP, 500
UDP, and 4500 UDP [NAT-T]. Also protocol 50 for ESP needs to be allowed. The
link below also explains the new behavior for NAT-T in Windows XP Service
Pack 2 which may need a registry mod to get it to work. --- Steve
