[pptp-server] Win 98 Connection error...

Tue Oct 24 21:51:52 CDT 2000

I had exactly the same symptoms and it killed my precious time ....  but now I hope it saves yours.....

install a second dial-up adapter (you already have one for your ISP connection) from your Windows.  VPN adapter needs to ride on it during connection.

  Hi all,

  Quick question, I have Windows 98
 connecting to VPN I get an error: -

  The Microsoft Dial-Up Adapter is in use or not responding properly.

  Disconnect other connections and then try again.

  If this problem persists, shut down and restart your computer.

  In my log on the PPTP Server, I am seeing:

  Oct 25 12:29:49 internet pptpd[32176]: CTRL: Client 203.108.22.62 control connection started

  Oct 25 12:29:49 internet pptpd[32176]: CTRL: Starting call (launching pppd, opening GRE)

  Oct 25 12:29:49 internet pppd[32177]: Connection terminated.

  Oct 25 12:29:49 internet pppd[32177]: Exit.

  Can anyone help? I have connected many times before, but never seen this error

  Regards,

  Matthew Gavin
