Is it possible to connect a Dynamic VPN using the XP Pro (client) to a Dlink 824vup+ router using L2TP and a pre_shared key? I want to do this using the MS client rather than having to install more software. It appears it should be possible from various sources, but nowhere can I find a definitive answer or example.

I can connect using pptp no problem, but when trying to use L2TP the client I get the message:

Error 792: The L2TP connection attempt failed because security negotiation timed out.

The Dlink documentation says nothing useful about anything. So I am unsure as to what settings are required on the router for the IKE proposal and IPSEC proposal.

Has anyone managed to setup an 824VUP+ like this and if so what settings were used.

Thanks
