Hi all, I'm trying to get access to my company's VPN server, which is MS VPN. I've been using the PPTP v1.02 client, and it looks like it successfully contacts the VPN server, but authentication fails. The VPN client for my MS box has the "Require Secure Password" checkbox, but on my Linux laptop, the chap-secrets file does not have encrypted passwords. Does anyone know if there is something that I need to do in the chap-secrets file to make this work? -ronc

I have been hassling with this same situation for about 3 weeks. Finally came up on Friday night after numerous complaints to the VPN administrator. Seems permissions had to be adjusted at the VPN secure gateway. You might want to inquire at that end.

It works just fine on my W2k box - I can get into the VPN using the MS VPN client. I'm trying to get onto the SourceForge mail list for the pptp client, so perhaps I can get some answers there. I built the pptp client, and the mppe pppd. I set up the chap-secrets correctly, I think. When I start pptp with debug on, I can see the VPN server give me an IP address, and the pppd attempts to start the ppp-up script, but I immediately get a TERMINATE request from the VPN server. If you know of any resources such as mailing lists or other such things, I would be much obliged. Regards, -ronc
