I installed v0.8.4 onto my Redhat 5.2 system. The install went fine. I
am now trying to connect to the server from a Windows 98 machine.
When I connect without authentication, everything works fine. However,
when I try to use any authentication, it refuses to connect. The
following is my setup:
Windows 98 machine
Machine name : CR705434-B
NT Domain name : LAMB
IP : 24.112.68.114
Encrypt password : have tried enabled and disabled
Encrypt data : have tried enabled and disabled
PPTP Logon Setup:
User Name : RLAMB
Password : <password>
VPR Server : 24.112.70.75
Linux machine
Machine name : LINUX
IP : 24.112.70.75
PPP options file
local
lock
debug
name LINUX
auth
require-chap
PPTPD.conf file
speed 115200
localip 128.0.0.6
remoteip 128.0.0.7
chap-secrets file
RLAMB LINUX <password>
Then Linux machine is multihomed with a local IP of 128.0.0.1 and a
cable modem IP of 24.112.70.75. When I try to connect from the Windows
box, the connection flashes for a minute or so and then gives me a
message indicating it can't establish a network connection with the
server. In my messages log and pppd log, I get an entry which reads:
peer authentication required but no suitable secret(s) found for
authenticating any peer to us (linux)
I suspect my secrets file is not set up right (or something), but I
can't seem to stumble into the right answer. Can anyone help??
Thanks,
Rick Lamb
