I have never tried rp-l2tpd but I'm glad to hear that it worked!
Could you tell what you had to do? Do you have access to
Windows 2000 Professional by any chance? I'd be interested to know
if it has the same "loopback detected" problem with rp-l2tpd as
with l2tpd...

Note that WinXP Home cannot join a domain, but you should be
able to access resources on that domain:

I'd suggest checking Samba's logfiles. They have never failed
me. You could also try increasing its debug level and run
a tcpdump on ipsec0 or ppp0.
