Dear Tom-san,

I failed to creat a site to site VPN connection using L2TP/IPsec by
pre-shared key even though site to site VPN through PPTP does work. Then I
did check you article and I am confused in using the pre-shared key,
that's why I could have question in my previous post. Again, please would
you clarify
  "if you do not have a cerficate installed, and you decide to use a
   pre-shared key as backup, the site-to-site VPN connection will fail.  
   Do not seclect the Allow pre-shared key IPSec authentication as
   a secondary (backup) authentication method option, even if you do
   not have a certificate installed on this computer"

In addtional to above, my current problem in creating VPN connection
through L2TP/IPSec either by pre-shared key or certificate is no answer
from remote called site (again PPTP configuration works), what is the
reason for this?

Thanks for your kind reply!

Roy Tsao

Hi Roy,

If you configure a pre-shared key, then that will be used.

HTH,
Tom
