L2TP/IPSec tunnel with ISA Server => Problem with Certificates

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
