vpn connetion fails on lenny

alenoosh

Hi all

I'm using debian lenny and I've created a vpn connection (client) to connect to a windows vpn server , my chap-secrets file looks like the following :

# Secrets for authentication using CHAP
# client server secret IP addresses

........

# added by pptpsetup for afa
afa afa "my_pass" *

and my settings for 'afa' vpn connection are :

# written by pptpsetup
pty "pptp 212.50.246.113 --nolaunchpppd"
lock
noauth
nobsdcomp
nodeflate
name afa
remotename afa
file /etc/ppp/options.pptp
require-mppe-128
ipparam afa

options.pptp file looks like this :

# Lock the port
lock

# Authentication
# We don't need the tunnel server to authenticate itself
noauth

# We won't do PAP, EAP, CHAP, or MSCHAP, but we will accept MSCHAP-V2
# (you may need to remove these refusals if the server is not using MPPE)
refuse-pap
refuse-eap
#refuse-chap
#refuse-mschap

# Compression
# Turn off compression protocols we know won't be used
nobsdcomp
nodeflate

# Encryption
# (There have been multiple versions of PPP with encryption support,
# choose with of the following sections you will use. Note that MPPE
# requires the use of MSCHAP-V2 during authentication)

# http://ppp.samba.org/ the PPP project version of PPP by Paul Mackarras
# ppp-2.4.2 or later with MPPE only, kernel module ppp_mppe.o
# {{{
# Require MPPE 128-bit encryption
require-mppe-128
# }}}

# http://polbox.com/h/hs001/ fork from PPP project by Jan Dubiec
# ppp-2.4.2 or later with MPPE and MPPC, kernel module ppp_mppe_mppc.o
# {{{
# Require MPPE 128-bit encryption
#mppe required,stateless
# }}}

when I try to connect using "pppd debug call afa" , I get this log and debug messages :

thanks in advance for your help

Were you able to connect to the server in the past with this configuration file?
Have you verified that the authentication mechanisms in use are properly configured on your system?
