I recently got Windows 7 Ultimate (retail) and I am mucking about trying to get the build in VPN client working.
I have all the necessary settings I need, in terms of security authentication, etc.
I was able to use Snow Leopard on my Mac to easily set up an IPSEC VPN tunnel.
In Snow Leopard when you configure and IPSEC VPN client, it allows you a spot to specify "Group Name" and "Shared Secret". I used my old Cisco settings of GroupName and GroupPwd (from my PCF file) for these respectively and was able to get a VPN connection without problem.
My problem with Windows 7, is that the only setting I can't seem to find (anywhere in the interface at least), is a place to specify this "group name".
Has anyone successfully set up the built-in Win7 client without having to use a VPN Client like Open VPN, or other external client? I would like to be able to use the Windows 7 version versus an open source or downloadable product - which could pose security risks due to the very nature of their sources.
