I read the MS documentation and win2k is not mentioned.
Tried to set up the poptop server but it doesn't seem to listen on 1723 (i checked with a telnet).
Also when i try to connect i have this message
/etc/ppp# No free connection slots or IPs available - no more clients can connect!
/usr/sbin/pppd: The remote system is required to authenticate itself
/usr/sbin/pppd: but I couldn't find any suitable secret (password) for it to use to do so.
/usr/sbin/pppd: (None of the available passwords would let it use an IP address.)
In the /etc/pptpd.conf i have
localip and remoteip but for local ip i'd like my lan net and remote a remote net but the server doesn't accept 192.168.1.0/24 format or whatsoever related to networks, it only wants ip @
How could i do that ?
Could you show me a sample of your conf files so i would see how it looks like.
Regards

hi ya
if you want to use pptp for MS clients...
- d/l pptp client sw from MS on your windoze boxes
http://www.microsoft.com/ntserver/ProductInfo/faqs/PPTPfaq.asp
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url="">
- d/l and install pptpd server onto your linux box
http://www.Linux-Sec.net/VPN/
- we used the pptpd from moretnbay
http://www.moretonbay.com/vpn/download_pptp.html
-- if you are doing this because of security to/from the outside
world of ms boxes... do NOT use pptp ... use freeswan or other vpn
servers
-- if you want your linux box to look at your remote windoze boxes
as if you were sitting in front of that remote ms box... use vnc
instead
