Introduction
This article describes an issue in which you cannot connect to an L2TP/IPsec server behind a NAT-T device in Windows Embedded Compact 7. An update is available to resolve this issue. Before you install this update, all previously issued updates for this product must be installed.
Symptoms
Consider the following scenario:
-
You have network address translation (NAT) and virtual private network (VPN) enabled on a device that is running Windows Embedded Compact 7.
-
You create a VPN (L2TP/IPSec) connection from the Network and Dial-up connection item on this device.
In this scenario, after you connect to the VPN server from this device, you cannot connect to an L2TP/IPsec server behind a NAT-T device.
Resolution
To resolve this problem, install this update. After this update is installed, you can use the new AssumeUDPEncapsulationContextOnSendRule value in the registry to support connecting to an L2TP/IPsec server behind a NAT-T device on a Windows Embedded Compact 7 based device.
The AssumeUDPEncapsulationContextOnSendRule value is located under the following registry subkey:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\L2TP1\Parms
You can configure the following values:
-
If you set the AssumeUDPEncapsulationContextOnSendRule value to 0, the device cannot establish security associations with servers that are located behind NAT devices. This is the default value.
-
If you set the AssumeUDPEncapsulationContextOnSendRule value to 1, the device can establish security associations with servers that are located behind NAT devices.
-
If you set the AssumeUDPEncapsulationContextOnSendRule value to 2, the device can establish security associations if both the server and the device are behind NAT devices.
You also need to configure the following registry setting in your OSDesign.reg file. This allows the system to check the AssumeUDPEncapsulationContextOnSendRule value.
; Deleting registry value of "UseIPSec" which is configured in common.reg by following setting
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\L2TP1\Parms]
    "UseIPSec"=-
