    SP2 ate my VPN...

    Up until now, I've actually liked XP SP2. The wireless networking's improved, I like the firewall (especially since I can apply settings via GPO), no real downsides until...one tries to actually use the VPN client. Agh! L2TP/Ipsec worked perfectly in SP1, but for some reason best known to themselves they've completely stuffed it in SP2. Result? Not only does it not now work, it manages to cause my damn firewall to restart.

    Has anyone seen similar issues?

    I've found it to be a bit fussy with dialup providers on SBS VPN's , which I think are L2tp based.
