To disable IPSec
1 Select the Networking tab.
2 Select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) properties.
3 Double-click the Advanced tab.
4 Go to the Options tab and select IP security properties.
5 Make sure that Do not use IPSec is selected.
6 Select OK and close the connection properties window.
Note: The default Windows 2000 L2TP traffic policy does not allow L2TP traffic without IPSec
encryption. You can disable default behavior by editing the Windows 2000 Registry as
described in the following steps. See the Microsoft documentation for editing the Windows
Registry.
7 Use the registry editor (regedit) to locate the following key in the registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Rasman\
Parameters
8 Add the following registry value to this key:
Value Name: ProhibitIPSec
Data Type: REG_DWORD
Value: 1
9 Save your changes and restart the computer for the changes to take effect.
You must add the ProhibitIPSec registry value to each Windows 2000-based
endpoint computer of an L2TP or IPSec connection to prevent the automatic filter for
L2TP and IPSec traffic from being created. When the ProhibitIPSec registry value
is set to 1, your Windows 2000-based computer does not create the automatic filter
that uses CA authentication. Instead, it checks for a local or active directory IPSec
policy.
