Title: SME5 and VPN
Post by: Serge Dutremble on October 02, 2001, 12:49:35 AM

Has anyone been successfull in establishing a VPN/PPTP connection between SME 5.0 and Windows 98SE /w 128 bit DUN?

I used to have 4.1 and never was able to connect, I skipped 4.2 to go directly to SME 5, although 4.2 is supposed to get this right, but have the same results as with 4.1.

I should have tried 4.2 but thought:  What the hell, it should be working on the upgrade as well!

Is this actually working in SME 5 or is it broken?

Anyone?

Serge.

Hi Serge

I tried out for long time to work with E-Smith-Server, Version 4.1.2 and now with SME 5 and as client with Windows 95, Windows 98 and Windows 98SE.

With these clients I didn't get any connection over VPN. I think in also in the latest DUN (V1.4, USA/Canada-Version) it's still have some bug's.

Today morning I tried out with Windows ME, without any special downloads.

And it's work fine, OK, I had a very slow connection (19200 bps)...

The settings I used on the clients was:

- One Dial-Up for Internet (eg. over Sunrise/Diax (in Switzerland))
- One Dial-UP for VPN with the follow settings:

  General:

  VPN-Server: IP-adress You see from outside the network
  Microsoft VPN-Adapter

  Security:
  Login-Name/Password as used on the VPN-Server
  Domaine: as used for the LAN, where the VPN-Server is connected

  Logon on Network enabled
  Encryted Password? enabled

If You have any question, please let me know.

Thanks Simon
