[pptp-server] pptp client problem: pppd CCP ConfRej

[Alexander Zeyliger]

Hello,

I was trying to get my linux box to connect to a NT firewall
over VPN for a few days now.

I got to the point where the call is authenticated and ppp i/f is up.

Afterwards the log is filled with tons of those CCP ConfReq/ConfRej messages,

...
Nov  1 22:15:25 my_host pppd[1452]: rcvd [CCP ConfReq id=0x60 <mppe 1 0 0 21>]
Nov  1 22:15:25 my_host pppd[1452]: sent [CCP ConfRej id=0x60 <mppe 1 0 0 60>]
Nov  1 22:15:25 my_host pppd[1452]: rcvd [CCP ConfReq id=0x61 <mppe 1 0 0 21>]
Nov  1 22:15:25 my_host pppd[1452]: sent [CCP ConfRej id=0x61 <mppe 1 0 0 60>]
...

and the pptp windows occasionally gets lots of 'warn gre discarding out of
order' messages.  Pings and telnets don't go through ppp.

I've seen this problem mentioned on a few posts, but not a solution...
Anyone got this working??

Thanks for any pointers in advance,


A.Z.

p.s.
I have pptp-linux-1.0.2 and -1.0.3; pppd 2.3.11 patched for mppe,
2.2.17 kernel with mppe modules.
