Tip: Windows sometimes may show this error even if the client device has been configured with a
correct pre-shared key for authentication. This usually happens at the first connection attempt after
a new connection profile is created. Reconfigure the pre-shared key on the client Windows device
and retry the connection.
3 An L2TP client device cannot reconnect after it is disconnected.
Tip: If a client reconnects right after it is disconnected, the reconnection may fail. Wait 60 seconds
before reconnecting.
