[pptp-server] PPTP Linux client and PPTPD encryption question .

[Steven Evans]

heya

thanks for the quick reply.

The second linux box has the same configuration as the first.  Infact i can
get my Win2k client to connect to that box using encryption the same as it
can connect to the first.  Its just that they cannot connect to each other
using encryption.

Cheers,
Steve

How identical is IDENTICAL?

Have you checked you DUN to have encryption turned ON on the second machine?
Can the first machine (which works with encryption) connect a second time
after the second machine has connected and disconnected?

Hello,

I am trying to create a vpn atm.  I have installed pptpd on a linux box,
installed mppe, patched ppp-2.4.1 with the 2 patches that i found on
mirror.binarix.com, installed them all and rebooted.

I can connect my Win2k workstation to the pptpd server with 128bit
encryption with no problems.  I get a event on my messages log that says
this.

However, whenever i connect another identically built linux box using pptp
client (version 1.0.2), i see in the messages log no mention of encryption:

Aug 23 09:47:37 grunt pppd[422]: Using interface ppp0
Aug 23 09:47:37 grunt pppd[422]: Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/pts/0
Aug 23 09:47:40 grunt pppd[422]: MSCHAP-v2 peer authentication succeeded for
supervisor
Aug 23 09:47:40 grunt pppd[422]: Deflate (15) compression enabled
Aug 23 09:47:40 grunt pppd[422]: local  IP address 10.1.254.1
Aug 23 09:47:40 grunt pppd[422]: remote IP address 10.1.254.15

How can i get my second linux box to connect using encryption and using
pptpd?  If i cant get it working using pptp client, is there another one i
can use?

Thanks in advance.

Cheers,
Steve
