[pptp-server] Win98SE2 PPTP connection problem with Encryption

[Jean-Francois Gagnon]

This is a repost.

I did a complete reinstall of the MSCHAPV2/MPPE patch on a fresh version of
ppp 2.3.10 and the kernel 2.2.16.

Same error again.

The pptp connection is tried from within the firewall

I simply do not get it.

Did someone overcome this one ?

Regards

JFG
