Hi,

Yeah, I'm using ppp as a module - all modules are loaded
properly as per instructions. My setup is RH5.1, 2.0.36, ppp-2.3.8
with relevant patches etc, and pptp 1.0.0.
I've totally removed and reloaded the modules on server and
client to no effect.

BTW, do you use any other command line parameters to the
linux pptp client than the ones below: (assuming your config files)

#pptp firewall name jack noauth debug +chapms +mppe-128
 mppe-stateless

On another issue, if I use +chapms-v2 instead of +chapms the PPP
Daemons on both machines seem to get  into an endless loop
sending CHAP challenge/response messages to each other ?? !!!

Any pointers much appreciated..
Regards,
Seosamh

Hello,
  This might be off course, but are you using ppp as a module or built
into the kernel?  if you have it built in, have you remade the kernel
and
rebooted since patching it for mppe?  40bit encryption will work without
rebooting, but 128bit wont.  on windows machines, you can even connect
with 128bit until you rebuild everything, but i'm not sure about
linux to linux.  that could be your problem.  good luck :)


Regards,
Adrian
