[pptp-devel] "Failed to authenticate ourselves to peer"

[Tim S. <li...@ca...>]

Hi,

I'm trying to connect to my work VPN and having problems.  If I connect 
normally, I get a timeout.  If I use debug, I get this output:

root@horus peers # pon pan-vpn debug dump logfd 2 nodetach
pppd options in effect:

I'm using kernel 2.6.11-gentoo-r6 and pptpclient 1.6.0.  Anyone got any ideas?  
I have previously had this connection working with previous pptpclient and 
2.4 kernel.  I know the username/password is valid, as the same connection 
works fine from my WinXP laptop.

Thanks,

Tim.
