Windows Server

Hello all,

I am trying to connect one of my workstation VPN clients to my server via
L2TP, I have successfully made a secure connection with my server via PPTP.
But I dont understand the concept behind it for L2TP.

This is my current infrastructure

- Server - Windows server 2003 Standard
- Workstation - Windows XP Pro

I tried searching the Knowledge Base, but all they had was Windows 2000
steps, and they wernt the right click paths, etc.

Can anyone explain to me what I need to do in order to set this up? It
would be much appreciated. I already have RRAS setup on my 2003 server, so
all I would need to know is how to setup IPSec preshared or a certificate.

Thanks,

Jordan

The steps you're looking for are not in the knowledgebase but in the Windows
2003 online help.

To me, setting up L2TP server in W2K3 is pretty much the same process as
setting up PPTP server: you just add L2TP ports.

It would be good to know what exactly you don't understand about the concept
and what kind of prblem do you have connecting. Make sure you set the client
to use L2TP - I find "Automatic" option not that good for L2TP as it tries
PPTP first.
