PPTP failing with V2.016

I have set up PPTP, which works for a while, but then stops working completly and you are unable to log in again.
I am using windows 2K which reports back this error:
Error 619, The specified Port is not connected.

This is what appears in the Astaro PPTP log.

Nov 26 13:16:10 ln01fw01 pppd[16790] ppd 2.4.0 started by (unknown), uid 0
Nov 26 13:16:10 ln01fw01 pppd[16790]:Using interface ppp0
Nov 26 13:16:10 ln01fw01 pppd[16790]:Connect: ppp0 /dev/ttyp0
Nov 26 13:16:10 ln01fw01 pppd[16790]:Modem hangup
Nov 26 13:16:10 ln01fw01 pppd[16790]:Connection terminated.
Nov 26 13:16:10 ln01fw01 pppd[16790]:Exit.

Does anyone have any ideas?
(I am not using any special characters in my passwords, and have tried deleting and reinserting usernames and passwords)

Maybe you should read them too,

I have read the other topics relating to PPTP before posting this topic and have found none that resolved my problem.
The only suggestions I have found were making sure the password did not have any special characters, making sure the win2k was using the same encryption strength, making sure to use the latest version of Astaro (2.016), all of which I have done.

Regards,
Gerard.

Was a problem in 2.016, seems to continue to be a problem with 2.019.

Hi there guys,

I have WinXP running PPTP through a smoothwall from home to the company running ASL 2.019 without any problem.

What settings do you use in WinXP ?
Does it work with W2K ?

Should I do some Screenshots with the settings ?

Does the connecting work?
Did you add PacketFilter rules ?

Kind regards

Hi, maybe this will give a clue.

I'm running 2.16 and I experience this occasionally, but it only seems to be when I make an important config change that somehow affects the PPTP ie. routing, ports, etc.

Before I installed the 1.4 dun (Win98) from M$ I could log back in through another IP available on the outside firewall. After 1.4 I don't get back in on any IP untill I logout and in to my ISP.

If your pptp client is running through a NAT firewall you will get this error in the log and never get a connection. You cannot run PPTP over NAT. Some NAT firewalls allow it to work but a lot don't. Test my theory by using an independent dial up account straight to the internet and give the PPTP client a go. Bet it works.....
