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.

So what do these errors tell you? They tell me that your connections are fine, and data is getting through from one machine to another. It seems to be that the windows machine is not sending a password to the linux machine.
I have never done this, so I'm just guessing at this. My guess is that you'll have to have the win client send a password to the server. It has something to do with the `log on to network' check box somewhere in the windows connection set up.
Then again, I've never done this, so you can try and tell us if it works.
