[pptp-server] pptp server and Win98 -- *sigh*

[Dave Plsek]

Thanks
all the modules (that compile) 'insmod' ok - no errors

I'm pretty sure (not 100% - it's my home PC that's running 98) that I set 
the VPN 'connectoid' up as you have suggested ... no ipx or netbios, no 
header compression, no default, encryption on.
I'll triple check the setting and see how I go.

BTW, I have header compression enabled on the NT machine -- no problems.

On further reading of /var/adm/debug it seems that Win98 is not responding 
to this IPCP request ...

Interesting that WinNT connects but Win98 does not.  That may tell us who 
to
point a finger at.  A few things, when you connect with WinNT is 
encryption
enabled?  If so, the linux box is NOT the problem.  If this is the case, 
(I
know you've done this, but there are a few snafu's) un-install, and
re-install MS Virtual Private Networking.  Now for the Snafu:  you must
un-install and re-install through add/remove programs.  If you do it 
through
the Network Properties, it will not install properly, so you must do this
through Add/Remove programs.  After that is done, apply the DUN40.exe 
patch.
You should then be able to connect with encryption(make sure to turn off 
ipx
and netbios on the vpn link, also turn off header compression and default
gateway on remote network)  Now, the other case, if you were not using
encryption on the WinNT box, type: 
insmod slhc
insmod ppp
insmod ppp_deflate
insmod bsd_comp
insmod ppp_mppe
And try to connect(Don't reboot the linux box after these commands until 
you
try to connect)
If you still can't connect with encryption, post any errors you received
when doing the insmod's.
Good luck,
