Hello All,
I have a Suse 10.x Distro. that I am trying to connect to a Windows 2003 Ras (Remote Access Server). I am using the configuration listed below:
SUSE 10.0 HOWTO
by James Cameron
14th March 2006
Introduction
With the default install, PPTP Client 1.7.0 and PPP 2.4.3 are included, as packages pptp-1.7.0-2 and ppp-2.4.3-15 respectively. The kernel on CD (2.6.13) has MPPE support already patched in, as module ppp_mppe size 15872 bytes.
It is possible to setup a tunnel using the provided SUSE programs, or you can use our method below. The way to try it as-is is to (a) in YaST2 select Network Devices then DSL, (b) add a custom provider with an Authorization User Name that matches your PPTP server account, (c) add a DSL device with PPP Mode set to Point to Point Tunneling Protocol and Modem IP set to your PPTP server IP address, (d) try the connection using Kinternet, and if it fails with an MPPE required warning edit the /etc/ppp/peers/pptp file and add require-mppe.
The above information was obtained from the web site site listed below:
http://pptpclient.sourceforge.net/howto-suse-100.phtml
I have followed all the listed instructions and downloaded all the necessary files from the website in question.
When I start the Kinternet Program I receive the following error:
SuSE Meta pppd (smpppd-ifcfg), Version 1.59 on Ghost.
Status is: disconnected
trying to connect to smpppd

Status is: disconnected

Status is: disconnected
pppd[0] died: A modem hung up the phone (exit code 16)
Could someone please help me with understanding the above error code?
I also searched google for a linux VPN client that will connect to a windows RAS server and all the return searches come up with is using a Cisco VPN client. I am unable to use the Cisco VPN client due to the fact that my company will only use the windows Ras server as their VPN server.
Thank you in advance for all your help with this matter.
