PPTP for e-smith ver 5.5
« on: March 09, 2003, 07:10:01 PM »
Hi pples,

have anypne comes across that ver 5.5 pptp after enabling the workgroup and domain controller for after a few days pptp stop working?

I had been using pptp/vpn in winXP connecting to e-smith ver 5.5 for awhile and been fine but after a few days i try connecting to it , it hang at verifiying username and password....... but then if i do a halt and rebooted the e-smith it works again..... but will stop working again after a few days say 2 to 3 days later....... a soft-reboot will not work.

I hope to get some advise here as i'm not experience with pptp/vpn. This my first time with it.

Here's my log:-

I really do not know where is wrong, it seems to me is the pppd issue.

Thanks for any advise in advance.
