Hello, 

Im new to the list. I have been going thru the archives searching for a
solution. The problem I've been having is with windows 2000 and 98 working
at the same time.  I found great examples in the archive and read _many_
posts.  The root of the problem is that if I have it setup to work with
2000 (ie commenting out the mppe-40 in the options.pptp file) windows 2000
works fine and so does the beta 2 of windows XP, but then the windows
95/98/ME clients cannot pass data (yes they are using 128bit encryption).
If I put back the mppe-40 windows 98/me work but then 2000/xp doesnt work.
They all connect fine all the time, just no icmp & tcp traffic for who ever
is the odd one out at the time.  Im kind of in a catch 22 here.

I can send my other configs if they are needed, didnt want to make my first
post that long.

Thanks in advance.
