[Poptop-server] Trying to talk to PoPToP from a PocketPC

[johnjmedway <jm...@io...>]

Folks,

I have a functioning PoPToP installation which works when
talking to RedHat, Windows 2K, Mac OSX, et al., without a
hitch. But I have a user who wants to use a Pocket PC to
talk to my PoPToP server. Consistently I see the following
sort of errors in /var/log/messages:

>Sep 26 18:08:06 polaris pptpd[19851]: CTRL: Client 216.155.166.225 control 
>connection started

FWIW, my options.pptpd file looks like:


>## CHANGE TO SUIT YOUR SYSTEM
>lock
>
>## turn pppd syslog debugging on
>#debug
>
>## change 'pptpd' to whatever you specify as your server name in chap-secrets
>name pptpd
>
>proxyarp
>
># This option applies if you use ppp with chapms-strip-domain patch
>#chapms-strip-domain
>
>#+chap
># These options apply if you use ppp with mppe patch
># NB! You should also apply the ChapMS-V2 patch
>-chap
>-chapms
>+chapms-v2
>mppe-128
>mppe-stateless
>
># These options will tell ppp to pass on these to your clients
># To use ms-dns or ms-dns in options.pptpd it must exist in /etc/resolv.conf
>#ms-wins your.server.here
>#ms-dns your.server.here
>ms-dns 10.10.10.21


Suggestions???


Thanks.
