Hi,

I'm trying to set up the L2TP VPN server built into my Sonicwall TZ 170
security applicance in order to connect to it using the MS Windows
2000/XP VPN client. I've enabled the L2TP server in my Sonicwall and
created a VPN user. The problem is, when I try to connect using the
WinXP VPN client, I get the following error messages:

1) If I set the VPN type to Autodetect in the Windows client, it is
unable to connect because "the security settings might be wrong" (which
could mean anything).

2) If I explicitly set the VPN type to L2TP in the Windows client, it
says that a certificate is required on my PC for this connection. I
don't have any problems connecting to other VPNs without a certificate,
however.

How can I get this working?

Thanks,
Nick

Did you try the instructions at the SonicWall site? I'm curious if
this works, and if it works for simultaneous connections without
licenses for the Global VPN Client.
