[pptp-server] Connect Problems!

Tue Dec 18 14:43:11 CST 2001

Have you removed the "default gateway" option for the internet user. this
MUST be removed for the VPN to work otherwise the internet connection for
the vpn user may totally stop and possibly without you even knowing..

thanks,

Hi George !

First off all again thank for your great support.
I am very sad cause it still is not working

> support it if it's not done already...

After i received your mail, i checked my pppd and the ppd provided from SUSE
already is patched.
As i wrote in my first mail. when i am doing an LAN VPN connection from any
kind of client everything works funtastic.

So i made another LAN VPN connection form an Win2k client, and again it
worked, so i looked at the connection propperties on the win2k client and
they show me, that the vpn connection is using MS Chap V2 and MPPE 128

So my question is, when i can make a LAN VPN connection with MS Chap V2 and
MPPE 128, is it still a missing
patch related Problem. Cause when i do the same over the internet and get
the errors written before.

Hopfully you a solution for my problem.

Therfore thanks for your support
Ufuk Altinkaynak

btw: i noticed, that i used in my first mail the word INBOUND, wich was
false translated from me, i wanted to say that it was a LAN connection sorry
for that.
