MT as pptp server

RouterOS General
1

hello all,

i’m trying to setup my MT router as pptp server…
The router has a wireless interface, and two ethernet.
the first ethernet is connected to the localnet (where dhcp server runs), and the second is connected to the adsl modem.

first of all, i setup the pptp server…

/ interface pptp-server server 
set enabled=yes mtu=1460 mru=1460 authentication=mschap2,mschap1 keepalive-timeout=30 default-profile=test

second, i made a ppp profile:

/ ppp profile 
set default name="default" local-address=0.0.0.0 remote-address=0.0.0.0 session-timeout=0s idle-timeout=0s use-compression=no \
    use-vj-compression=no use-encryption=no require-encryption=no only-one=no change-tcp-mss=yes tx-bit-rate=0 rx-bit-rate=0 \
    incoming-filter="" outgoing-filter="" dns-server="" wins-server="" comment="" 
add name="test" local-address=dhcp_pool1 remote-address=dhcp_pool1 session-timeout=0s idle-timeout=0s use-compression=yes \
    use-vj-compression=no use-encryption=yes require-encryption=yes only-one=no change-tcp-mss=no tx-bit-rate=0 rx-bit-rate=0 \
    incoming-filter="" outgoing-filter="" dns-server="" wins-server="" comment=""

and third i created a test user:

/ ppp secret 
add name="test" service=any caller-id="" password="test" profile=test local-address=0.0.0.0 remote-address=0.0.0.0 routes="" \
    limit-bytes-in=0 limit-bytes-out=0 comment="" disabled=no

I’m trying to connect from windows XP, log file writes “PPTP connection stablished from xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx”, but the connection stops to “verifying username and password”..
After few minutes, winXP reports an error 619.

So, where did i go wrong ?

upgrade the router to the newest RouterOS version (2.8.14).

Make sure that encryption is enabled on WinXP machine (you reqiure it in your router).

I did everything, but no result…

My settings in WinXP client are:
Security/Advanced/MSChap+MSChap2 (require encryption)
Networking/Type of VPN=PPTP/enabled LCP extensions, sw compression
no firewalls…

Change ‘Require Encryption’ to No. Don’t mess with Advanced settings in XP client until you get it working. You need to get a good starting point, and then you can tweak until it breaks. :slight_smile:

i tried this also but …

in winbox ppp/active connections the client is not shown…

the client is natted to the wireles network, is this probably the reason ?

6

very simple question: can you ping your pptp-client from the pptp-server?

7

Also usually chacking logs helps much.

i suppose i made something wrong…

when i deleted everything and made it again from the start, it worked..

My problem is that when i try to use a limit for the user, vpn connection is disconnecting (in log file says something about user-requested disconnection..)

sorry to say, but the mt ppp-log is quite poor :frowning:

for tracking pptp- or pppoe-connection problems the usual windows- or mac-log gives much more information, even down to lcp- and ipcp- messages.
