Topic: VPN INTO SME 7.1-WORKS 1ST TIME ONLY

[xsel]

Hi all

I have a customer that wants to access his accounting program on a pc behind SME Server 7.1
I thought a VPN onto server and a shared folder on that pc could do the trick.

But VPN is giving problems.
As per log below(2nd login) it thinks I want to dialin.
I realize now I should have included the original successful VPN login log

Perhaps with what is shown below, you can give me a clue on how to rectify this siuation.

My best bet would be to upgrade to a newer release, the latest is 7.3 at the time of writing, as I seem to remember from the back of my head that some VPN issues have been fixed in later releases.
