I want to ask you one question about VPN server. I have installed and configureted an VPN pptpd server and it seems work OK Exactly how do you have the pptp server set up. To be honest I'm not aware of any linux pptp servers. Typically you would set up freeswan then connect via win2000 which is fairly straight forward and much much much more secure. Please include.

A.) pptp server yoru using B.) SuSE version C.) Kernel Version (vanilla or suse) D.) System specs.

with Windows 2000 client machine but when I tried to connect with XP client machine user are able to log in and everithink seems OK but when tried to load some site by http a fit part of site loaded and nothink else happned at that time in log messages on VPN server I found:

kernel: Not enough space to encrypt packet: 1404<1404+4!

Hello, I have exactly the same problem and I found at http://pptpclient.sourceforge.net/howto-diagnosis.phtml#encrypt_space the following solution: *Problem*: following message appears in pppd logs Not enough space to encrypt packet: 1004<1004+4! *Solution*: patch ppp_generic.c using the patches in this project's CVS repository. The patches are in mppe/kernel/kernel, and are ppp_generic.ccp_max_option_length.patch <http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/pptpclient/mppe/kernel/kernel/ppp_generic.ccp_max_option_length.patch?rev=HEAD&content-type=text/vnd.viewcvs-markup> and ppp_generic.header_length.patch <http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/pptpclient/mppe/kernel/kernel/ppp_generic.header_length.patch?rev=HEAD&content-type=text/vnd.viewcvs-markup>. Carsten Grammes found that the SuSE 8 kernel (2.4.18-4GB) has MPPE support, but shows this problem. The patches above solved the problem. [2002-08-23] The Problem seems to exist since SuSE 8.0 it exists still at my 8.1 SuSE. I have no experience in compiling my own kernel. That's why i haven't tested this.
