Sorry for the delay, due to inclement weather and my cable company's level
of customer service I was offline since Monday.

Yes you need a computer certificate on both the VPN and/or IAS server and
the VPN client computer for lt2p. You can request one via Web Enrollment as
you suggest for your VPN client but be sure to request the offline ipsec
certificate. You will have to configure your CA to use that template first
in the CA mmc console. Then be sure to select to store the certificate in
the computer store. You will also need to verify that the CA's certificate
is in the VPN client's trusted root store via certificates mmc snapin for
computer. That can easily be exported to a .cer file and imported to other
computers or also requested via Web Enrollment --- Steve
