/etc/ppp/peers/vpn

pty "<my.vpn.server> --nolaunchpppd"
name <domain>\\<username>
usepeerdns
remotename PPTP
noauth
file /etc/ppp/options.pptp
ipparam vpn

Re: vpn Connection Problem

In my /etc/ppp/options.pptp I also have:

refuse-pap

My /etc/ppp/chap-secrets looks like:

<username>       <dns-name of our vpn-server>     <my password>       *

My /etc/ppp/peers/vpn looks like this:

remotename <dns-name of our vpn-server>
ipparam vpn
ptt "pptp <dns-name of our vpn-server> --nolaunchpad"
name <username>
usepeerdns
require-mppe-128
refuse-eap
noauth
file /etc/ppp/options.pptp

With these settings I'm able to establish a VPN connection to our Windows 2K3 server without any problems. Don't know if it will work for you, but hey....it's worth the shot.
