Have any of you tried SME 6.0b2 VPN’s

I am trying to get VPN’s to work for SME6.0b2 with only a bit of lick. I would like to know if any of you have bin able to get them working and what you did. If you had problems could you post them?

The problem I am heaving is I am connecting to my vpn server with XP. The computer loges onto the VPN just fine. I can then map to network drives on my SME server as well as my windows. I can also upload files just fine. But I can’t download files. As far as I can tell the permissions are set up ok. The windows xp computer locks up when I try to download a file or open one on a drive share. Here is the Samba log file.

[2003/07/18 19:41:00, 0] lib/util_sock.c:write_socket(523)

[2003/07/18 19:53:36, 0] lib/util_sock.c:send_smb(703)

Do any of you have any ideas? Have any of you bin able to get it working without problems or is this an error not yet fixes in SME6.0b2

Thanks

I have had similar problems using XP and 6b2.  It will  start off with the VPN working ok and then I will get issues with it not  connecting anymore. It will say verifying user name and password and than eventually time out. If I log into another VPN server first and then log into the 6b2 it works but as soon as I disconnect from the other VPN server the connection is terminated. A combination of rebooting the SME and changing the VPN settings seems to get it back working for a while I think. I haven't been able to make certain that it isn't something I do at the XP end that makes the difference. I do know however that the problem doesn't happen for me in either ME or 98. This issue is very intermittent as I tried yesterday to connect but was not able to and yet I have just tried and got straight in. I have raised a bug report with Mitel although I have not received any conformation of this yet

Any success with this ?

I'm having a similiar issue with one of my clients on 5.5u6
VPN mostly works, but ocasionally I cannot get through
for hours at a time. I get to 'verifying username and password'
and then it drops out with after a time with error 619
