LinuxQuestions.org - Setting up a L2TP VPN server

yep that was a problem i have resloved most of the problems so far.
i have got a bit stuck with PPP and CHAP
i have setup windows right (i think) and i removed authentication and it worked and the VPN established but when i put it on and run xl2tpd in debug mode xl2tpd -D

Code:

im connecting from 10.1.2.3 to and the server is at 10.1.2.1
/etc/ppp/chap-secrets contains:

Code:

# Secrets for authentication using CHAP

and /etc/xl2tpd/xl2tpd.conf

Code:

[global]

[lns default]

ip range = 10.1.1.128-10.1.1.254
