Re: Client cannot connect to VPN server - others can

Look at the router's manual. It should support "VPN passthru". Sometimes this feature must be enabled even if supported.
In other words, the router must allow to the traffic generated by the RAS server to get back to the client.

Hello Group,

we are running Windows 2003 Server Enterprise Edition with Active Directory and Remote Access Service. We setup RAS to allow only L2TP-EAP connections.

This is working! Many clients can connect without any problems.

But, some clients cannot. These clients are often behind a router (but there a clients behind routers, which can connect without any problems!). In oakley.log I notice:
[CUT]
This get logged, while client says "Connecting with...", which ends up in error "Error 792: The L2TP connection attempt failed because security negotiation timed out."
