L2TP Client: Windows: Difference between revisions

Watch out if you are using [[IPv6]]. It seems that Win7 negotiates a non-routable [[IPv6]] address with the LNS. You have to discard this address and manually configure one of your routed [[IPv6]] addresses. ipconfig /release6 is your friend here.

Windows 10 seems very keen on using IPsec with L2TP. To turn this off, in an Administrator Command Prompt do:
 
SC STOP RASMAN ; you may have to wait a bit for this to stop
SC QUERY RASMAN ; ensure it is STOPPED
REG ADD HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Rasman\Parameters /v ProhibitIpSec /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f
SC START RASMAN
 
Also, once the connection has been created:
 
# Network and Sharing Centre
# Change adapter settings
# Find the L2TP connection
# Right click and choose Properties
# Go to the Security Tab
# In the 'Authentication' section
# Select 'Allow these protocols'
# Ensure 'Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol (CHAP)' is enabled.
