After a lot of help from Thibault I was able to connect from xp client. the causes for the problem was : 1. missing raddattr plug-in to option.pptpd raddattr.so # after radius.so 2. un update dictionary (Microsoft & merit) both in /etc/raddb & /etc/radiusclient attached my dictionaries Microsoft & merit (both client & server) 3. include dictionary syntax – should be : $INCLUDE /etc/raddb/dictionary.microsoft $INCLUDE /etc/raddb/dictionary.merit 4. need to config the following options in option.pptpd refuse-pap refuse-chap refuse-mschap require-mppe +mschap +mschap-v2 Thanks Danny _____ From: Danny Milshtein [mailto:danny@videocells.com] Sent: Monday, May 28, 2007 8:59 AM To: 'FreeRadius users mailing list' Subject: RE: problem connecting from windows xp to pptp server Hi, All the check options are checked.
