Hi,
Like one of the other forum entries, I also have trouble with VPN/PPTP.
I connect and get the "connecting" and "verifying username and password" dialogues.
Then, on the "registering your computer on the network" dialogue, I get;
"Error 734: The PPP link control protocol was terminated" followed by a disconnect.
I followed the advice in other forum entries but still can't get it to work.
My installation is a completetly fresh one using the 7.1 iso which I then performed
the very long update within the server manager panel to let it update to 7.1.3.
When it failed I modified the grub.conf file to boot a previous kernel but the problem
still exists.
I have included all of the files that I think are relevant
If someone would kindly check these files and point me in the right direction I would be
very grateful as I need to get the VPN running by Monday.
Many thanks,
AlexT.
