Hello, We can't connect to our pptp server through our CentOS gateway with a XP client. The linux client is working but not the XP client. I know for a fact that the pptp server is not the problem because if I connect the XP machine directly to the Internet the pptp vpn is working. I know about the pptp-conntrack-nat patch, I compiled the 2.4.9 kernel, with patch-o-matic-ng-20060511.tar.bz2 without any problem. But compiling iptables end with this error: make: *** [extensions/libipt_connlimit_sh.o] Error 1 I'm wondering if we really need that patch, because that patch seems to be only needed when you want simultaneous pptp connection, which is not my case. I only want to be able to make a simple pptp connection. Any pointers? Thanks. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

You don't need the patch in your case. You may find the DKMS module builder RPM and the ppp_mppe rpm to go with it useful to allow the MPPe encryption to work. http://linux.dell.com/dkms/ http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=44827&package_id=120221&release_id=361763 You also need to make sure you have the latest pptpd rpm installed pptpd-1.3.0-0.i386.rpm And you'll need an updated pppd rpm to match ppp-2.4.3-5.rhel4.i386.rpm These work for Centos 4, but from the looks of the kernel you are using your system is much older... What centos version are you using? You should also be sticking to RPMs whenever possible to make sure your update process is hassle free..

BTW I noted that the subject line says Centos 4.3, thats why I asked what version you are using again because you mention a 2.4.9 kernel P.
