I have a RedHat 9 installation running kernel version 2.4.20-20.9smp (from kernel-mppe-2.4.20-20.9smp.rpm). I have installed ppp-2.4.2-0.1b3 and Poptop 1.1.4. I have successfully been able to connect from a Windows 2k machine as long as encrytion is turned off.

Any suggestions would be appreciated. This is a time sensitive project, and without encrytion we'll have to scrap the project.

Thanks,

Allan

Maybe take a look here http://ccfaq.valar.co.uk/modules.php...rticle&sid=188

Thanks, I actually have figured it out.

It would be nice to hear the solution from you then

Since I already had chapms-v2 already working and turning off encryption all together worked correctly. I found that ppp is compiled with only 128 bit encryption and would need to be compiled if 40 bit was needed. So, I set the Microsoft VPN client to maximum encryption and gave it a try...

It Worked
