Topic: PPTP flaky since upgrading to 5.6

[rob Wellesley]

actually - the bug help is missing a line

after commenting out the template you need to rebuild the masq file

/sbin/e-smith/expand-template /etc/rc.d/init.d/masq

reboot

This has fixed my inbound PPTP problem.

[Amazing Iceman]

I tried that , but it didn't help either.

Hi,
  I have exactly the same problem and symptoms as Steve and Iceman. The difference between 5.5 and 5.6, as far as I can see, is that in the log file, V5.6 has the line :

pppd[3982]: CHAP peer authentication succeeded for XXXX

whereas V5.5 had MSCHAP-v2 for the authentication.

  Comments anyone?

   Regards,

Ressurecting an old thread

Just tried the PPTP from my home system.

Was able to connect successfully to my SME box on our LAN (sits behind a DSL Router). I could ping it, but about 1.5 minutes later I get disconnected without warning or what not (similar to what users encountered above).

My home system: W2K, SP3
SME is 5.6

Any ideas? I'll keep poking around the site for info...
