[pptp-server] I don't understand anything ! :-)

[George Vieira]

Sorry I don't have the URL or information but it was mentioned before on
this list (surprised the person who sent it hasn't submitted to a reply)
that when you patch the kernel for mppe that there was another patch to fix
a bug in the original patch to fix errors which from memory (which hasn't
been good these days) was what you had...
I may be totally wrong and if I gave you some hope when I'm wrong then
sorry.

I have alot of mailling lists and I prune off ones that either are outdated
(eg. hi i'm using 1.0.0 pptpd) or may not suit my needs (eg, hi i'm running
pptpd on SCO with a land to air satellite link...yarda..yarda..)

I'm sure someone on this list must know which patch I'm talking about and at
least reply to these guys if I'm right or wrong so these guys can make a
choice and do something.

thanks,
George Vieira

Oh ! I'm not alone ;-) I'm not sure to be a good thing ;-)

Well, being serius. I think our problem could be in a intermediate router
that lost
some GRE packets, but I'm not sure... How I can read in some posted messages
at
this mainling list, some routers can found some problems managing this kind
of
packets. But really I'm not sure abut this. I you read my first message, you
can
read a detailed log activity abaut a pptp conexion (you can see the
traffic), and
we can see that some packets lost when ppp brought up.

   It's too dificult to me to understand what is happend from this activity
logs....

  Another idea abaut I was thinking is that ISDN ppp can't manage some kind
of
packets
that pptp and thet tunnel ppp need.

  What's the real answer ?

  Thanks,
  Javier Cuevas
