wXP VPN trouble

RouterOS General
1

Hi,

I am trying to configure MT as a VPN server. I followed instructions in manual (ppp secret, user to pptp, pptp svr enable, arp-proxy) and I used VPN client incluided in Windows XP SP1 + all patches.
But I keep recieving error 742: The remote computer doesn’t support required encryption type (or whatever the exact error is in english).
I tryied everything: allowing all protocols, anly each one (even PAP). The same with xp clinet: automatic configuration, manual…
Still the same result.

Does anybody know what could be the probelm?

Thanks.

THANKS A LOT!

The problem was that the “default” profile has use-encryption=no and require-encryption=no default parameters!

This is not mentioned in the manual in the section about PPTP, not even in examples.

If anybody from MT reads this thread, please add this information into the Reference Manual.

Now I’m fine and really excited about MikroTik Router OS :o)). It has everything I’d wish :o)
