How to solve L2TP VPN Error 809 & 789 with Windows 7 x64

 I have a Windows 2008 Server to which I am trying to open a L2TP VPN connection on a Windows 7 x64 client.  I am using a pre-shared key.

I have successfully connected to the Server with a 32 bit Vista client and a 32 bit XP client.  I use the exact same settings, internet connection, firewall, etc. on the Windows 7 64 bit client with no luck. 

I have spent 8 hours searching the internet and attempting different solutions.  I have found a handful of people experiencing this problem.  Common advice is to:

1.  Check firewall settings.

2.  Check that pre-shared key is correct.

3.  Modify registry to allow NAT Traversal with AssumeUDPEncapsulationContextOnSendRule=2.

4.  Make sure "IPsec Policy Agent" and "IKE and AuthIP IPsec Keying Modules" services are running.

I can get XP and Vista clients to connect on the same internet connection so 1 is out.  So is No. 2, I double-checked it and again, it works on other machines.  I did No. 3 and it made no difference.  The services are running as described in No. 4.

One poster stated that he "restored" his Windows 7 machine and the VPN suddenly started working again.  He did not specify what he rolled back.

Any ideas?  I would be eternally grateful, my world has come to a standstill because of this issue.

 

 

What is a VPN?

VPN’s (Virtual Private Network’s) were first used by companies to enable their employees to securely access internal systems such as email remotely (e.g. from home or while on business trips). Today they are increasingly being used for personal use by individuals to protect their privacy while online in public places (e.g. when using the wi-fi connection in a cafe) or in a country where the internet is censored / blocked (e.g. China, Saudi Arabia…).

Why do I need a VPN?

Whether you’re an expat living in a foreign country where the internet is heavily regulated, a mobile user constantly on the road, or just someone concerned with maintaining their privacy online, having a VPN is becoming essential.
