[Openswan Users] Creating Win XP vpn connection

[peters at exemplar-associates.com]

I revisited the ipsec.conf on the server and using the M=24 client I
now see this in the authlog file:

(I removed the e-mail address from the output shown)

The message on the client is  =22Error 792 The L2TP connection failed
because security timed out=22.

Previously I wasn't sure that packets were reaching the server but
now I think they are. The problem seems to be the =22no suitable
connection for peer=22 error. I am worried about the difference between
S=3D and ST=3D
