Hi!

On my positiv list:

pptp 2.4.0 runs with kernel 2.4.0 suse 7.1
"kernel" patch linux-2.4.0-openssl-0.9.6-mppe.patch.gz is installed
ppp is compiled as module

pppd is patched with ppp-2.4.0-openssl-0.9.6-mppe.patch

without encryption everything runs fine.

On my negativ list:

when I turn on encryption my win2000 system connects, but i can´t get a
ping through to the other side.

I have read the howto on:
http://home.swbell.net/berzerke/2.4_kernel_PPTPD-HOWTO.txt
at 5.13 it is mentioned to compile ppp as module - but since i have done
this - what else can it be?

the only error message i can find in /var/log/messages is:
cannot determine ethernet address for proxy ARP
I turned it on with
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/all/proxy_arp
but still i do have this error message.
Since without any encryption I get this message too but pinging ... works.

Does anybody have a clue?

Thanks in advance
 Werner
