Imediate VPN Connection Termination
« on: December 23, 2002, 03:38:25 PM »
I have various E-Smith 4.0/5.0 etc... servers with PPTP enabled. I can connect to them using the windows XP VPN client but when I try to connect using then W98 VPN Client, it does password verification ok and logs to the system. However, the connection is imediatelly terminated
MSG: Connection to xyzserver  was terminated Do you want to reconect?  

I changed the DUN parameter to Require Data Encryption and then I get
MSG:
Error 742 The computer you're dialing in to does not support the data encryption requirements specified. Please check your encryption settings in the properties of the connection.  If this problem persists, contact your network administrator.

I can use the VPN client to conect to an NT4 machine using the same W98 client.

Box data: W98 Se  40bit encryption DUN client
Thanks

Try do download DUN14 for Win98SE if you already don´t do it!

I also have to deinstall and reinstall everything about dial up to bring a Win98 client VPN after install DUN14!

You need 128 bit encryption. Do as Jáder said and install the DUN 1.4 update.

I tried downloading it but gave me errors. Today I found that if I add the mppe-40 line to the /etc/ppp/options.pptpd file, I can connect. So I guess my problem is with the encryption level. So must probably I will have to de-install everithing on my win98 DUN and re-install like you suggested.

Super Thanks!

Get dun14-98.exe for the initial release, or dun14-SE.exe for 98SE.

Downloaded the dun14-se.exe from the site recomended by Bill Talcott installed it and now I can connect to all our sites with no need to downgrade to 40bit. It also seems to connect faster and more relaiably even with the aditional overhead.

Once again thanks to you all

There is one other problem that I ran into....once....

If you don't have a modem, you may not have dial up networking installed.  You should make sure that it is installed in the add/remove windows components in the control panel before you apply the DUN14 upgrade for your OS.
