[pptp-server] PPTP problem with win2000 client

Thu Aug 31 13:03:44 CDT 2000

Jeff, 
Make sure that your remote and local addresses in /etc/pptpd.conf are not
the same.  I have seen this cause the same error.  

Al,
In order to see general pptpd logging info edit /etc/syslog.conf and add the
line:
*.info    /var/log/messages

That will drop general info from all daemons into the syslog, or to be more
specific to poptop and get more debugging info from poptop:
edit /etc/pptpd.conf and add the line
debug

edit /etc/syslog.conf and add the line:
daemon.debug    /var/log/messages

or to seperate to a different file
daemon.debug    /var/log/pptpd

Thanks,

Jeff,

Most likely it is your encryption settings; Under Win2000 edit the
properties of the VPN Connection, and under the security tab; uncheck
"Require Data Encryption (Disconnect if none)".  In order to use encrypted
data (Which I still can't get to work right) you need to do some configuring
on the Linux Box.

-AL

BTW; my logging doesn't work on the Linux side; can you tell me what you
have set to make yours work?

Hi...i was wondering if anybody on this list might know what i did
incorrectly to get this error log in the /var/log/pptpd.log file.

i am runnign Mandrake 7.1 on my server, trying to connect with a win 2000
vpn client.  the error message i get on the client system is "error 619: the
specified port is not connected"

thanks in advance,
