PPTP and SSH
« on: December 23, 2002, 02:41:54 AM »
Hey,

I am wondering why my PPTP would quit working after months of being ok. What happened was that I had it set to 2 connections in server manager, then finally got ssh to work so I changed PPTP to 1 connection. Now whenever I try to connect using PPTP I get: Error 651: The modem (or other connecting device) has reported an error.

If I change PPTP to 2 connections, it works again and lets me in. I thought maybe it was seeing SSH as one of the connections but that would not make sense (sometimes it tells me something about a certifcate not being found, which made me suspect SSH). I changed my connection on my Win 2K box to use only PPTP instead of Automatic, but still no good....

Does e-smith need to have 2 connections? Unfortunately I don't recall whether it worked or not after I changed it to 1 (need some sleep). If someone could test for me that would be great, because if I am wrong then my boss is going to think we have been hacked and someone else is using that PPTP although I changed all the passwords...

Thanks,
