[pptp-server] Re: Hi, I'm in trouble with the same config asyou

[Seosamh D. Ó Riordáin]

Hi Adrian,

Cheers for that pointer on the effect of the nodeflate parameter -
certainly
saved me some time! The pptp-linux-1.0.2 client now works fine for me
with MPPE40. However, if I use +mppe-128 on the command line instead,
a ping over the interface just established results in the following type
of
message in the log file:
server: "Unsupported protocol (0x...) received"
client:   "Protocol-Reject for unsupported protocol 0x..."

How did you manage to get around this problem?

Thanks for your help.
Regards,
Seosamh.

Hello,
  I have gotten 128bit encryption between two linux boxen using pptp
1.0.2
and pptpd 1.0.0.  one problem people might have is that pppd likes
deflate
compression more than bsdcomp, so unless you say nodeflate in your
options
file, deflate will be used and mppe needs bsdcomp.  here's my options
file
for server and client.

server:
debug
name server_name
auth
proxyarp
nodeflate
bsdcomp 15,15
-pap
+chap
+chapms
+chapms-v2
mppe-40
mppe-128
mppe-stateless

client:
name server_name
user client_name
defaultroute
noauth


regards,
adrian
