Topic: VPN:- I've tried phorum help but to no avail

[sam russo]

I'm trying to setup VPN from my W98 box at home. The setup for connection is as follows.
W98 client-->My e-smith-box at home(dialup dynamic IP)->The internet via my ISP--> e-smith box at work(static IP perm. connection)
I've got DUN1.4 I've got 128 bit encryption on. Yet error message contines to say:
"The computer you're dialing in to does not support the data encryption requirements specified.Please check your encryption settings in the properties of the connection.  If this problem persists, contact your network administrator."
The e-smith box at work allows 2 pptp clients. I'm using the same user name and password.
Could it be related to the IP address of my w98 machine as serveded out by my e-smith box at home (its completely difft to the ones the e-smith box at work serves out)?
Could it be the e-smith box at home?
I've tried for hours and now am depending on the e-smith phorum friends to help out.
Any ideas would be appreciated.

Double check the settings on the Windows dial up script.
(R/Click properties)

Under server types - Advanced Options all should be ticked except for logfile.

Under protocols, only select TCP/IP.

I have also had problems when both networks use the same subnet.


Hope it helps.

DUN 1.4 don´t update (outside US) a file under "windows/system" named "pppmac.vxd". I had to uninstall ras and then install, then copy "pppmac.vxd" from DUN 1.4 to "windows/system". Then you have 128 bit encryption.
