When trying to use PPTP for a vpn connection to work all seems to work well except for the following error: Mar 22 08:48:59 pc1 kernel: Not enough space to encrypt packet: 1304<1304+4! After doing some research I found an article regarding this error and there was a kernel patch. I down loaded the patch and when I tried to apply the patch I found that the patch was already applied. But yet the error still occurs. I am using SuSE 7.3 professional with the 2.4.16 kernel update applied as well as all other updates from the ftp site. I also have a laptop with 7.3 kernel 2.4.10 that gives me the same error. Is there something I am missing here? Is there something that needs to be set in the proc (echo 1 > /proc/somewhere).
