Can't connect to FVS318N L2TP VPN with Windows client - Error 789_case # 25689768

I have a FVS318N that has been in place for a couple of years.  Recently I was asked by a couple of employees to enable VPN access.  So I figured I would play with it and see what my options were/are...

    Thanks for the suggestion DaneA, I had done all those steps except the Registry edit.  I did that and rebooted, no joy.

     

    I think it has to be something else because I can't connect even with Windows XP either.

     

    Thanks,

        Yeah, tried the steps in that video, still no luck.

         

        Just seems rediculous that this is so hard to get to work... there are only about a billion Windows machines out there.  Surely someone has made this work.
