Arnt,Hi, James Cameron
The problem James Ng Yuen Sum is experiencing is with configuring the PPTP client, which is supported by the PPTP client mailing list. I'm the release engineer for the client. I lurk on the PPTP server mailing list to assist occasionally.
His statement that "the web sites" recommended an erroneous shell script is astounding. I can only guess that such web sites are outside the normal ones. The instructions for installing PPTP client on Debian is on the PPTP client web site, and they don't mention a script anything like that:
http://pptpclient.sourceforge.net/howto-debian.phtml
I wrote these instructions and tested them on Debian GNU/Linux stable (Woody), and continue to occasionally test them on the testing distribution.
So I'd ask James Ng Yuen Sum to tell the owner of the web site he is referring to that their instructions are incorrect. I cannot find the instructions via Google, so I presume they are on a private web site.
There's nothing wrong with pptp-linux that I can see in the error messages he shows us. The problem is with the script provided by the hidden web site.
I have followed the instruction of the websites you suggested, but I still cannot connect to my school vpn, here is my error messages:Aug 28 21:58:09 debian chat[1957]: abort on (BUSY)

I do not know what happen. Here is my chap-secrets file, options.pptp file and peers/tunnel file, can you suggest where i should address?
----chap-secrets
# Secrets for authentication using CHAP
# client server secret IP addresses
(my login name of my school's vpn) vpn.xxx.xxx.xxx (my password)
~
-----options.pptpock noauth nobsdcomp nodeflate
-----peers/tunnel
pty "pptp vpn.cuhk.edu.hk --nolaunchpppd" name s036000 remotename PPTP require-mschap-v2 require-mppe-128 file /etc/ppp/options.pptp ipparam tunnel
Thank you for your help and suggestions Regards, James Ng
