[pptp-server] Problem with more than one VPN client

[Dave Mills]

No the NT client is set to only one VPN, but that is all it is connecting
to. The problem exists when I try to connect more than one client to the
pptp server.  I can connect with either an NT or Win98 box as long as it is
the only client connected. 

If I have the Win98 client connected, and try to connect with the NT box, it
fails until I disconnect Win98 (and vice-versa). I am pretty sure this is a
server problem, as both type of clients work if they are the only one's
connected.

Sorry if I didn't explain this properly in my original mail.

Thanks

Dave Mills

So you are saying that the PPTP protocol on the NT server was set
to more than 1 VPN's and it still doesn't like it??

The number of VPN's is set to one. I've tried to do the same thing on a 98
box, it's fine when it's the only user on the pptp-server, but if I already
have one connected, it fails.

Thanks

This may be a shot in the dark but is the NT server PPTP protocol
configured with more than one user.  Default is set to one I believe.
In Start\Settings\ControlPanel\Network click on the Protocols tab
and highlight the PPTP protocol and then click the properties button.
Let me know if this helps??

Hi,

I used the FAQ's to install pptpd on a FreeBSD box, with a straight install.
No MSCHAP patches for now!

Everything is fine until I try to connect more than one user at a time, NT
is showing "A device attached to the system is not functioning.", and the
syslog is showing

pppd[926]: ioctl(TIOCSETD): Device not configured
pptpd[925]: GRE: read(fd=4,buffer=804d218,len=8196) from PTY failed: status
= 0 error = No error
pptpd[925]: CTRL: PTY read or GRE write failed (pty,gre)=(4,5)

I have 50 remote and 50 local ip's configured.

Anyone out there got any idea's??
