[pptp-server] pptp client, Win2k server - problems!

[Elijah Smith]

To recap - I'm getting a "LCP: timeout sending Config-Requests" error when
trying to connect with a pptp client to a win2k server.

there were several suggestions to change "AUTH" to "NOAUTH" in the ppp
options file.  So I did this.  Let me ask everyone, though - as a client,
should I include:

+chap
+chapms
+chapms-v2
mppe-40
mppe-128
mppe-stateless

or are those not useful as a client?

Anyway, I'm still getting the same timeout problem, but now the request
being sent looks like this:

...sent [LCP ConfReq id=0x1 <asyncmap 0x0> <magic 0x409b73e3> <pcomp>
<accomp>]
...last message repeated 9 times
...LCP: timeout sending Config-Requests

So, the <auth chap 81> bit is gone, but it's still dying. 


Thanks to everyone that responded, I really appreciate it!  Any other
suggestions?


Thanks!

check your ppp options file if this is a client , change AUTH to NOAUTH
