I'm trying to get a VPN connection established between laptop running WinXP using a dial-up connection and my VPN "host" which is a Netgear FVS318v3 router that is connected through a cable modem to Comcast.
On the client side (the laptop), I'm trying to connect using the VPN "Network Connections" in Windows (IOW, I'm not using any "VPN client software". After a failed connection attempt, the following error message appears: Error 792: The L2TP connection attempt failed because security negotiation timed out.
At the router, after a connection attempt, the VPN log contains the following messages (repeated 3 times - I assume once for each of three tries): (each of the lines is preceded by a date/time stamp)
[==== IKE PHASE 1(from 12.34.567.234) START (responder) ====] **** RECEIVED FIRST MESSAGE OF MAIN MODE **** PAYLOADS: SA,PROP,TRANS,TRANS,TRANS,TRANS,TRANS,VID,VID,VID,VID ERROR# NO MATCHING ISAKMP PROPOSAL FOR DIALUP CASE SENDING NOTIFY MSG: NO_PROPOSAL_CHOSEN **** SENT OUT INFORMATIONAL EXCHANGE MESSAGE **** POLICY: > PAYLOADS: NOTIFYI am a complete newby at this and have no idea what to do. As a matter of reference, I've exchanged several e-mails with Netgear "tech support" which have been no help.
Can anyone here give me some guidance or maybe point me to some on-line instructions as to how to get this working?
Thanks
