Hi, I installed a test lab with 2 Win 2003 server running ISA Server 2000 SP1 (+ hotfix). I'm trying to do L2TP/IPSec tunneling, as described on Thomas Shinder article: http://www.windowsecurity.com/articles/Configuring_Gateway_to_Gateway_L2 TPIPSec_VPNs_Part_1_Configuring_the_Infrastructure.html When I try to connect with L2TP/IPSec (PPTP works fine), I get an error message on the gateway issuing the L2TP call: "The L2TP attemp failed because there is no valid machine certificate on your computer for security authentication". The problem is that my "client" VPN gateway *has* a certificate. It has been issued by the Root CA described on the article. I tried several ones: key length 512 and 1024, client certificate, server certificate etc... My "server" VPN gateway also has its own certificate. Does anyone knows where this error come from? 1) I already rebooted 2) I think I followed the steps described in the article with 2 exceptions: IP Addresses and version of Windows Server (I'm using 2003). 3) I saw MS Article #247231 but it seems that my problem is not one of those discussed on this article I put in attachment the Netowk Monitor file with the paquets exchanged between the 2 gateways. Thanks to anyone that has an idea !!!! Rafael ------------------------------------------------------------- NetCourrier, votre bureau virtuel sur Internet : Mail, Agenda, Clubs, Toolbar...
