L2TP/IPSEC....Throw me a bone here!!

[Jeff Brandon]

I have a simple network with a simple need but I can't seem to find
information on setting up L2TP and IPSEC... which doesn't shoot off in a
tangent to what I am actually trying to do.

Basically I have.... 300 PC's, 4 DC's (2000 Server SP4), an Enterprise CA
and a Windows 2003 Server with ISA server installed.

We have been using VPN connections for quite some time for remote users but
want to go from PPTP to L2TP/IPSEC. All I need to do is get these new
protocols working, purely for remote access clients who use either Windows
2000 or XP. Different pages I have seen talk about it for internal network
use, RADIUS servers, IAS, 98/NT client connections etc etc but I don't want
to know all that (or do I). All I need is to configure it for plain ole' VPN
access.

Please.... can anyone give me a link to the relevent information?

Cheers,

Jeff

Hi Jeff,

You can configure the L2TP setup using certificates or preshared keys. The
links below give details on the same.

Hope it helps.
