Hi James,
If you followed my directions, you would have added 3 columns to the /etc/ppp/chap-secrets file, for each entry. As noted on http://pptpclient.sourceforge.net/howto-diagnosis.phtml#required_to_auth_ip
some version of pppd requires 4 items for an entry. You should be fine just adding "*" as the fourth item of your entry, e.g.: "DOMAIN\\USERNAME" "*" mypassword "*"
Feel free to keep me posted on your progress.
Still no luck. However, in searching for answers, I've come across some info that the PPTP client may not work through IP address translation, as we have here. This info is a few years old, so I don't know if it still applies.
Hi James,
Haven't got any problems about that myself. Tried disabling / reconfiguring your firewall etc. ? Do you get any errors when using the pptp command? Are you past the previous problem ?
PS. Could you please post to the list, instead of me personally.
Sorry, I didn't mean to send to you directly. I just forgot to change the "To:" address to the list. Here is my chap-secrets JKNOTT "*" xxxxx "*" I have these lines in options.pptp require-mppe require-mschap-v2 My peers file wwwww contains # Server IP: mail.yyyyy.com name zzzzz\\jknott The error messages I get are suse:/etc/ppp # pptp mail.yyyyy.com call wwwww Using interface ppp0 Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/pts/4 Terminating on signal 15 Connection terminated. Modem hangup In the above, I have changed the passwords and server names etc. Also, if I have a remotename line in the peers file, I get that error message: /usr/sbin/pppd: The remote system (wwwww\jknott) is required to authenticate itself /usr/sbin/pppd: but I couldn't find any suitable secret (password) for it to use to do so. tnx jk -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
