VPN – IPSEC/L2TP between Tiger Server and Win XP client with NAT-T involved

[skyfredox]

hi !

i have panther Server and i want to create a
IPSEC/L2TP VPN between my Server and Win XP client but NAT-T is involved (distant users use wifi connection => routers)

i had to understand it would not work because of non use of common standards between apple and microsoft for vpn negociation when NAT-T is involved

i can imagine to buy tiger update for my server

BUT has anyone managed to connect Win XP client to Tiger Server through IPSEC / L2TP when NAT-T is involved ?

please tell me YES et how you did it …

Yes – we’ve setup Windows XP to VPN into Tiger Server using IPSEC/L2TP.
You need to make a registry change on the XP machine to enable correct NAT traversal.
