Ok,
I have e-smith set up as a firewall/router on my cable modem. I want to use my laptop to dial up the internet from a remote location and establish a VPN connection to my e-smith server.
I turned on pptp and allowed 2 connections on the e-smith server.
I set up a VPN DUN connection as said in the docs for my Win98se laptop.
I downloaded the 128bit encryption update from the M$ windows update site. Here is what happens.
1) I establish an internet connection with my dial up account.
2) I double click on my VPN DUN connection and it brings up the "Connect to" window.
3) I enter my account password for my e-smith account and hit connect
4) The window goes briefly to dialing and disconnecting.
5) Then I get a Error Window that says the following:
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Disconnected from XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX
Dial-Up Networking was unable to complete the connection
Error: 645
The Microsoft Dial-Up Adapter is in use or not responding properly Disconnect other connections and then try again. If this problem persists, shutdown and restart your computer.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The only other DUN connection I have running is my interet connection and I have tried unistalling the 128bit encrytion upgrade and reinstalling it and the same proble occures.
Anyone have any ideas what I am doing wrong?
TIA
Steve
