Hello, I want to set up a VPN to connect from my mobile computer (Win98) via dialup (ISP) to my office (SuSe 6.4, FW). First I tried to set up a FreeSwan tunnel - which is no problem on the Linux Server side - but I could not find a free client for Win98. I downloaded FreePGP 6.51 from Computer Associates but a tunnel can only be established with the commercial versions. Does anybody know of a free client for Win98 which can be used for setting up a "road warrior"? Second thing i tried is to deal with the Linux PPtP Server. I set up things according to the man pages of PPtP (PPtPd is listening to the nic connected to the internet and is aware of incoming calls) but I am not able to finish connecting to the server. /var/log/messages reports my ppp establishing a connection to a serial port ppp0 <-> pts0 instead of eth0 and therefore all LCP pakets are gone. Another problem occurs if I enable Data encryption in /etc/ppp/options: if I enable mschap, mschap-v2, mppe40 or mppe128 pppd reports an error - unknown option - and dies although these options are mentioned in the man pages (pppd version 2.3.11) and in the HowTos. As the SuSE readme shows up those options and the docs (even at the LDP) does not mention about the above problems I don't know whats going wrong. Is there anybody who has a working setup, or knows what I am doing wrong? Thanks a million for any help Klaus -- Sent through GMX FreeMail - http://www.gmx.net -- Sent through GMX FreeMail - http://www.gmx.net
