Hi,
I had configured it long time back. I dont remember , but i think there is  a  login /registered user to be created on the server, and given adequate permissions.

        Subject:        [ILUG-BOM] VPN help



Hello everybody,

     I'm trying to install and configure the VPN network on my LAN. My VPN server is on Linux machine(kernel 2.4.2). I am using pptpd (http://poptop.lineo.com/) for this. I want to configure the n/w as

Linux/Win<-->Linux VPN<->Internet<->Linux VPN<--Linux/Win
 Client      Server                 Server      Client


but just for the begining I installed only one server(kernel 2.4.2 with pptpd) and on Win98 client trying to connect it.


 Linux VPN Server<----->Win98 client
   192.168.0.32        192.168.0.0.112


But I'm not able connect.Both the machines are on the same LAN(using simple hubs not switches).The error I'm getting as below.

/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.)


Please help me.I'm stuck on this for a whole week.
Thanks in advance.
