Juniper Networks recommends using an IPSec VPN client application such as NetScreen-Remote due to Windows and protocol limitations. However, the Microsoft Windows XP native VPN client can be used for this application.

Environment:

• L2TP over IPSec
• Windows XP Operating System on client
• No NetScreen-Remote involved on client side
• L2TP tunnel over IP Sec configuration on firewall
