Does anyone have an idea, what can be missing? Seems only I have this problem.

Here is the error message I get:

Also I have a second question, if the first is solved: how shall I set up the pptpsetup parameters if my VPN server doesn't support encryption? Is it enough if I don't give --encrypt parameter or something else is necessary too?

Thanks for your help!

cheers

Hi all,

I am not much of a linux user myself and I'm getting the same error as gykiss when i do dpkg -i ppp_2.4.4rel-osso4_armel.deb

How do I continue on from here?

Re: N900 PPTP VPN with MPPE

hi all...

i wanna connect to my office vpn, i can usually do this using my winxp notebook, create connection using the new connection wizard, then edit my registry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\RasMan\Parameters\ProhibitIpSec to 1

i've tried to connect using my n900 from vpnc but it wasn't successful, is there any chance that this client works for my office vpn setting?

Re: N900 PPTP VPN with MPPE

I'm using the powerkernel. But when i try to install the other packages it just says incompatible? any updates on the subject in general or is this the way its done?

Re: N900 PPTP VPN with MPPE

I think that the kernel modules are already present in the power kernel (you probably still need to insmod them).

I'm not going to have time to test this out until after Christmas though.

Re: N900 PPTP VPN with MPPE

hi
i was following the instructions and got to the step where to delete the bit of code (without deleting i am getting also a message that it didnot work, but not one being that weird; going on i get this message (of course, i did it several times (deleting and trying) but the message did not really change):

Code:

Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands.

my hope is that a) i am too stupid to read or b) bigphatjohn made a mistake everybody is correcting except me (of course of linuxskills i haven't got)

so a big thanks! for every one trying to help me!

It does work with the power kernel. As Jan said, the kernel modules are already present in the power kernel but you still need to insmod them (This also means that you do not need download or extract the modules package). See Jan's post on page 2 but use :

Code:

# cd /lib/modules/2.6.28.10power46/

# depmod -a

# insmod slhc.ko

# insmod ppp_generic.ko

# insmod ppp_async.ko

# insmod sha1_generic.ko

# insmod ppp_mppe.ko

instead of the insmod section in those instructions. Note that the only change is the modules directory.
Hope this is some kind of helpful.
