Re: FN-FORUM: NT4/W2K PPTP VPN

You might need to set clear text (basic) authentication (ewww!) (The PPP
negotiation is not
converging means that authentication is failing - usually wrong security
setting in connectoid). Also check that you have only one winsock.dll and
one wsock32.dll.

Subject: FN-FORUM: NT4/W2K PPTP VPN



I'm trying to connect from a W2k system to a NT4 WS system via a PPTP VPN.
The authentication is failing at the NT4 box. The event log there shows:-

20077 RemoteAccess N/A STOKEHTS An error occured in the
Point to Point Protocol module on port VPN1. The PPP negotiation is not
converging.


On the W2K machine trying to make the connection shows:-

Error 619: the specified port is not connected.


The NT box is SP6 and has 128 encryption. I think I have set it up correctly
but I must be missing something. I know that port 1723 is open but I'm not
convinced that GRE is open all the way through. But if my understanding is
right the authentication takes place via the TCP/IP port 1723 connection and
if GRE was closed then the data path would fail after the authentication is
done. But that is failing too...

Any ideas???
