Hello All,
I am running 4.9-RELEASE-p2 with poptop-1.1.4.b4_3 and am having trouble forcing
MPPE of any strength. Windows clients will only connect successfully if
encryption is not required of the connection. I have tried multiple entries in
ppp.conf (conflicting, I might add) found both while googling and in
thesystem-provided sample ppp.conf file. Can anyone out there share with me a
working ppp.conf? Is there anything else required to support MPPE?
Thanks for your help.

I have had similar 'problems' with setting up a PPPoE tunnel (doing
MPPE)
under FreeBSD 5.x with Windows clients. Basically, attempting to force
any particular encryption strength for MPPE resulted in problems with
establishing the PPPoE tunnel. Finally, I had to use this wildcard line
for MPPE:
set mppe * *
(in ppp.conf)
That finally worked, and Windows appears to negotiate 128-bit STATEFUL
encryption only (which sucks for lossy links); it simply refuses to
negotiate stateless MPPE, by the way.
