Hi Angelo,
In RRAS, the Internal interface is for the internet clients virtual
connection. I would like to confirm the following information with you.
1. Did you have install the patch of 818043?
2. Does the problem still persists if you remove the NAT and connect the
RRAS server to the Internet?
3. Do you have ISA installed on the RRAS server or acting as NAT?
4. Is your NAT runing in NAT-T mode? I would like to recommend that you
contact manufacturer of the NAT device to verify if the NAT Transparency is
supported by this NAT device.
5. Is there any error on the Server?
Please run the MPS Reporting tool on both the client and the server to
collect the system information for further research.
1. Visit the following web page:

2. Download the file MPSRPT_SETUPPerf.EXE
3. Double-click MPSRPT_SETUPPerf.EXE to run the tool.
4. On your system a CAB file will be generated for your convenience in the
%systemroot%\MPSReports\Setup\<Report Type>\Cab directory called
%COMPUTERNAME%_MPSReports.CAB. The CAB file will contain the reports
generated by the MPS Reporting Tool. Please send the cab file to me by
email. (where %systemroot% is the Windows system folder, such as C:\Windows
or C:\Winnt)
Please send the result of MPS Reporting tool to me directly at

Hi Bob!
I found this post and I have the same prb: WinXP clients can connect
L2TP on our LAN but they fail from the internet. I'm talking about the
same PCs with the same user account!
My configuration is like this:
[client with private IP] -> [NAT] -> [internet] -> [NAT/FW] ->
[server]
and/or like this:
[client with public IP] -> [internet] -> [NAT/FW] -> [server]
I'm using L2TP/IPSec since PPTP does not work through NAT. On my
firewall ("NAT/FW" in the above schema) I have opened all the needed
ports from the internet to my WS2003 "WAN" interface, as specified by
Microsoft: UDP/500, UDP/4500, ESP/IP50 and UPD/1701 (even if it's not
always said to be opened).
BTW, I have to admit I haven't understood the meaning and usage of the
"Internal interface" created by RRAS.. it has a LAN address which is
not accessible from the internet, so, can this be the problem?
I have Windows Server 2003 and XP SP1 clients. I have a CA and
everything is OK with certificates -- I wouldn't connect on the LAN
otherwise, I assume.
Nevertheless, on the server I get the following two errors (depending
on the PC that connects). The first error comes from a NATted client,
the second one from a client having a public IP address.

What I notice is that on one case the error is in the "Main mode" IKE
negotiation, the second one on the "Quick mode".
The first one reveals the server LAN IP address, the second one
"stops" at the server's public IP address.
The first one is a "negotiation timeout" error, the second one a "no
policy configured" error (but since the same PC connects if it's
inside the LAN, I can assume the RRAS policy is correctly defined).
It's already two days I'm making experiments, reading stuff and trying
to solve this problem, but with no success!
Thanx in advance for
your help, it's considered very precious!!
With my kindest regards,
