[pptp-server] PPTP over dial-up problem...

[Del Miller]

Thanks for the response... that's what I thought, that there'd be two
pppd's.  Maybe I should elaborate a little more on the problem.

Pre-modem, I successfully connected to PPTP using all the MS MPPE stuff so I
know that works.

Post-modem I can't get the Win98 client to connect.

I fired up the modem connection first, no problem.  I then fired up PPTP and
have it set to respond to all requests from any interface.  At this point
there is no firewall to contend with.

On client side (Win98) I get this:
Error 678:
The remote computer did not respond within a reasonable amount of time.

If you specified an IP address directly please check it. If connecting over
a Modem please make sure the Modem connection is already running, and then
try again.

My pptpd.log looks like this:

Aug  7 05:22:46 vpnserver pptpd[1579]: CTRL: Received PPTP Control Message

Any help is appreciated.

Yes, you will have two pppds running.  One for the ISP connection, and one
for
the VPN.  You must create the ISP connection first.
