How do I configure a windows xp pro VPN to not need a certificate?

I have a VPN configured using Windows XP VPN capabilities on a Windows XP Pro box but I see an error in the Windows Event log that I don't have a certificate and that one is needed for L2TP. I'd prefer to set up a VPN without it if that is possible.

1. Right click on your vpn connection -> on networking tab -> type of VPN -> PPTP You may also need to disable data encryption on security tab.
