Default Error 766 setting up VPN connection client

Hi,
Since my IPSec client doesnt work on Vista or Vista's program
compatability doesnt help, I had to use VPN feature in windows. I have
created connection by giving my VPN server IP address.
When I try to connect , it throws error 766 asking for computer certificate.
I am totally unaware o how to get that certificate. Kindly let me know how
can i get this certificate and get this VPN connection done.
Please help me out in this.
Would be grateful to you.

Thanks,
Suresh
