[pptp-server] No connection...

[Jose M. Sanchez]

Just to let you know...

The errors you show in the log are indicative of a poorly configured VPN
CLIENT... (assuming you have everything else ok....).

Uninstall, reboot, re-install VPN on you winblows machines.

|I'm currently working on a PPTP bridge over an internet connection with
|2.5sec of ping and 10-15% of packet loss.
|
|The parameters are correct, since I've tried that type of
|connection before
|on a better internet connection and it worked, but now the PoPToP 1.0.0
|server reports:

|
|I've set up the client to retry for an hour and for an hour I've got the
|same log lines.
|
|My options file is:
|===
|nodefaultroute
|usehostname
|noproxyarp
|+chapms
|mppe-40
|auth
|lock
|===
|
|Any idea?
|What to do?
|What is the reason of the timeout? The CHAPMS handshaking or the MPPE-40
|protocol?
|
|Bye.
