[Openswan Users] Basic help with configuration of L2TP/IPSEC

[Gbenga]

Hi All,

I am stuck and really need some assistance here.

I have successfully setup IPSec with PSK with lsipsectool with nat-t. All working well for now. I now want to setup l2tp/ipsec (psk), but I ran into trouble. I have followed the direction given by Jacco d Leeuw at http://www.jacco2.dds.nl/networking/win2000xp-freeswan.html.

I downloaded the l2tpd at http://www.xelerance.com/software/xl2tpd and compiled a debian package. I also installed the ppp package from the debian stable. My configuration is the same as mentioned on the Jacco's website (and the book). when I attempted to start the l2tpd server with "/usr/sbin/l2tpd -D" I got " l2tpd[3733]: init_network: Unable to bind socket: Cannot assign the requested address. Terminating." When I did ""/usr/sbin/l2tpd" not happen either.

What I would like to know is, exactly how do I confgure and start the l2tpd/ppp. A rudimentary explanation will be good. Did I need to enable pppd in /etc/inetd.conf?

I did a google and all explanation was that another l2tpd might be running, but there no other l2tpd run.


Thanks,
Gbenga
