I have set up a l2tp remote access vpn on my LAN. The VPN Server is running
Windows 2003 with a static address pool and other default settings and the
client has L2TP/IPSec VPN set, firewall off and default security. I have
installed certificates onto the local computer of each machine from the same
Enterprise CA and made sure they both have Root Certificates.

When I try to connect from the client the following error appears:

Error 789: The L2TP connection attempt failed because the security layer
encountered a processing error during initial negotiations with the remote
computer

However, if I assign an IPSec policy using the same certifcates to
authenticate and connect using the same L2TP client connection it works.
What can be stopping the L2TP vpn?

Any help greatly appreciated. Thankyou

Is it anything to do with this?

In this situation I am trying to set up a vpn over an internal LAN so there
is no NAT needed between the two ends of VPN.
