Title: Error 718 PPTP VPN
Post by: SloopJohnB on October 28, 2003, 07:13:11 PM
I am using a WIN2k VPN client and when trying to connect, I keep getting this error; TCP/IP CP reported error 718:

I haved looked high and low for more info on this on Google and here in this forum to no avail.
Server= SME 6.03b with updates
Hi-Speed, static ip connection (1.5 mbs according to DSLreports.com)
Client= Win2k with SP3 over a 256k DSL connection

Settings on client:
* IP address= 68.15.XXX.XXX
*General tab has all three Dialing options checked
*Security Tab has Typical settings chosen with the force encryption checkbox off
*Under Networking, Type of VPN is PPTP (have tried Automatic also)
*And then in the TCP-IP properties, I have 192.168.1.1 for the SME-WINS server in the remote network.
*The final tab has nothing checkmarked.
*The workgroup name on the client PC is different than the WORKGROUP/DOMAIN name of the remote network, however I am logging into the server using the "Include Windows login domain" checked.

The SME server has the user VPNfunction enabled and the remote connection allows for 10 pptp clients to connect.

Here is the output for the messages log on the server:
Oct 27 11:51:53 lvds12 pptpd[6133]: CTRL: Received PPTP Control Message (type: 5)
Oct 27 11:51:53 lvds12 pptpd[6133]: CTRL: Made a ECHO RPLY packet

Oct 27 11:51:58 lvds12 pppd[6134]: LCP terminated by peer (OM-^O#;^@

Since the VPN setup should straight forward and should work msot of the time, there is not alot of data on the net about this. Any help would be appriciated.
