Hello everybody,

I'm strying to get pptp up and running to connect with Windows clients to
the server.
I followed the instructions in the package and on several web sites.
Basicaly the instructions are the same. With other words: I don't unserstand
why it is not working.

I'm using SuSE 7.0 and here are the configs:

/etc/pptpd.conf:
speed 115200
option /etc/ppp/options.ppp0
debug
localip 192.168.0.1
remoteip 192.168.1.10-20

/etc/ppp/options.ppp0:
lock
debug
auth
+chap
+chapms
+chapms-v2
mppe-40
mppe-128
mppe-stateless
name pc18

/etc/ppp/chat-secrets:
# client        server          secret          IP addresses
thomas          pc18            ichunddu        *

/var/log/messages:

authenticate it
self
Oct 26 16:12:59 pc18 pppd[716]: but I couldn't find any suitable secret
(passwor
d) for it to use to do so.

Who has an idea for this problem or wants to help me remotely?

Thanks
Thomas
