Hello, I've followed the PopTop how-to for 2.4 kernels to a 't', yet I cannot establish a connection. Running Mandrake 8.2 with pppd 2.4.1 + Poptop 1.1.2 behind a Cisco 806 router with ports 1723 and 47 forwarding to the server.
Here is a log of an attempted connection from Windows 2000 from behind a Linksys router with PPTP forwarding on (I manually forwarded the ports too, just to be sure). Aug 14 21:58:10 serve-on pptpd[21039]: CTRL: Client 24.141.11.74 control connection started Aug 14 21:58:10 serve-on pptpd[21039]: CTRL: Starting call (launching pppd, opening GRE) Aug 14 21:58:10 serve-on pppd[21040]: pppd 2.4.1 started by root, uid 0 Aug 14 21:58:10 serve-on pppd[21040]: Using interface ppp0 Aug 14 21:58:10 serve-on pppd[21040]: Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/pts/3 Aug 14 21:58:40 serve-on pppd[21040]: LCP: timeout sending Config-Requests Aug 14 21:58:40 serve-on pppd[21040]: Connection terminated. Aug 14 21:58:40 serve-on pppd[21040]: Exit. Aug 14 21:58:40 serve-on pptpd[21039]: Error reading from pppd: Input/output error Aug 14 21:58:40 serve-on pptpd[21039]: CTRL: GRE read or PTY write failed (gre,pty)=(6,5) Aug 14 21:58:40 serve-on pptpd[21039]: CTRL: Client 24.141.11.74 control connection finished So it seems that pptpd dies because pppd never connects and times out. Here is my /etc/ppp/options file: debug lock noauth usepeerdns #-chap #-chapms #+chapms-v2 #mppe-128 #mppe-stateless I've had to comment out all the options above because pppd says it doesn't recognized them .. even though I patched the kernel, compiled the modules and inserted them as per the instructions. Any help would be faaaaannnnntastic! James Herschel JSquared Network Solutions (905)847-0799 [EMAIL PROTECTED]
