PPTP Traffic erratic
« on: June 21, 2005, 03:01:03 PM »
Hello everybody,

I use sme server 6.0.1 with no particular contribs installed.
The server runs standalone.
TCP 1723 is forwarded on the firewall to the server's lan interface.

Connexion works fine, I get an active PPTP adapter on my Windows XP with correct IP settings.

When I try to hit a ressource (ie server-manager), a few packets seem to go back and forth and then ... nothing.

Bizarely enough I can ping the client machine from the server but not the other way around.

There is a post on this problem stating an MTU Pb between XP and SME PPTP (the post says it works on W2K). I have deployed the solutions stated in this post to no avail, and the problem exists also on W2K on my setup.

Anybody has a solution ? I tried just about everything I can think of (changing MTU registry setting on my workstation, restarting PPTP on sme server).

Cheers ...

Y
