Editing Windows Registry
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. Please refer
to the Microsoft documentation for editing the Windows Registry.
1. Use the registry editor (regedit) to locate the following key in the
registry: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ System \ CurrentControlSet \
Services \ Rasman \ Parameters
2. Add the following registry value to this key:
·
Value Name: ProhibitIpSec
·
Data Type: REG_DWORD
·
Value: 1
3. Save your changes and restart the computer.
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.
Connecting to the L2TP VPN
1. Connect to your ISP.
2. Start the dial-up connection configured in the previous procedure.
3. Enter your L2TP VPN User Name and Password.
4. Select Connect.
