Experience with Fortinet Fortigate 60 -> SME5.6
« on: March 23, 2004, 01:29:47 AM »
Hi,

This is slightly off subject but I'm hoping someone might have come across this before and hopefully have an answer.

One site uses a Fortinet Fortigate 60 as a firewall device. Users here are trying to VPN into an SME 5.6 server at another site but fails with the dreaded Error 619 problem. Before they got the Fortinet, they could get in just fine (the SME site is fine, everyone else get VPN to it even now, just not this site behind the Fortinet).

The specs for the Fortigate 60 claims to support VPN client pass through for multiple protocols like PPTP, L2TP, yet it is not working.

Snippet of the SME logs when someone tries to get in from this site :-
====
Mar 22 16:57:10 xxxmail pptpd[19404]: GRE: read(fd=6,buffer=80559a0,len=8260) from network failed: status = -1 error = Protocol not available
Mar 22 16:57:10 xxxmail pptpd[19404]: CTRL: GRE read or PTY write failed (gre,pty)=(6,5)
Mar 22 16:57:10 xxxmail pptpd[19404]: CTRL: Client 202.83.79.98 control connection finished
====
<End snippet>

As I have not worked (or seen) one of these devices before, I don't have any idea about them. Does anyone have experience with them ?

TIA !

I have the same problem but only after upgrading the firmware to build MR7. Prior to that it worked fine.
