Author netscreen 5xp, windows 2000 and error 789

Hi,

I'm trying to setup a vpn, with a Windows 2000 client connecting to
windows 2000 server behind a netscreen 5xp firewall.

However, I'm recieving error 789: "The L2TP connection attempt failed
because the security layer encourntered a processing error during
initial negotiations with the remote computer."

I searched this group (via google) and found several instances of this
error but no one ever posted a reply... If you need more details,
please let me know. I've never tried to setup a vpn before but am
fairly knowledgable about most things. If you can help that would be
awesome!!

Thanks,

Matt Misener

Well I tried making a new policy on our firewall...
I first added a rule to allow pptp and forward it to my desktop machine.
( i can connect to my desktop from other computer on our lan...) That
didn't work, so I thought I'd experiment and setup ping to forward to my
machine... And I can't ping my ip from the outside... I then set it to
allow any source, and to forward all packets to my machine, and nothing
at all works... I made sure the cheesy windows firewall isn't running
either... What gives... Is this normal?
