Hi, I am a debian 3.0 user. I have to use the vpn connection in my school hostel, but i cannot set it correctly so i cannot connect to the internet now. The hostel have provided the method for Windows XP to connect, and I do it and connect to the Internet successfully.
In the instruction of Windows XP, my school ask us to edit the vpn connection: "a) in the Security tab of the properties dialog box for the VPN connection, choose Advanced (cution settings) and click Settings. b)For Data encryption, choose Optional encrytpion. And choose Allow these protocols for Logon security. Check Unencrypted password(PAP), Microsoft CHAP(MS-CHAP) and Microsoft CHAP Version 2 (MS-CHAP v2). Then click OK button to finsh the setting." How to do in pptp-linux so that the above instruction can work in debian? I have followed the instructions in the website http://pptpclient.sourceforge.net/howto-debian.phtml, but still cannot on line. Here is some error messages" debian:/etc/ppp# pon provider updetach debian:/etc/ppp# pon tunnel /usr/sbin/pppd: The remote system (PPTP) is required to authenticate itself /usr/sbin/pppd: but I couldn't find any suitable secret (password) for it to use to do so. from connect-errors anon warn[pptp_gre_bind:pptp_gre.c:95]: connect: Network is unreachable anon fatal[main:pptp.c:228]: Cannot bind GRE socket, aborting. anon warn[pptp_gre_bind:pptp_gre.c:95]: connect: Network is unreachable anon fatal[main:pptp.c:228]: Cannot bind GRE socket, aborting. I do not know what is going on. Insteads, my school only provide the instruction for the Redhat 7.x to connecet. Here is the options my school suggest: lock debug mtu 1000 nobsdcomp nodeflate noaccomp nopcomp novj defaultroute names xxxxxx(my login name) so how to convert them into debian pptp-linux version?
