pptp vpn to win2003

[distress]

Hi
after network manager failed to connect i just ignore it and want to make connection manually

1) ppp_mppe kernel module is not loaded by default... loading:

[root@dis peers]# modprobe ppp_mppe

[root@dis peers]# lsmod | grep mppe
ppp_mppe               10116  0 
ppp_generic            23324  3 ppp_mppe,ppp_synctty,ppp_async

mppe loaded...

2) adding login and pass to /etc/ppp/chap-secret

[root@dis ppp]# cat ./chap-secrets 
dis * mypass123 *

3) creating and configuring peer file

[root@dis peers]# cat ./isp 
pty "pptp 192.168.0.2 --nolaunchpppd"
name dis
file /etc/ppp/options.pptp
require-mppe-128

4) starting...

[root@dis peers]# pppd call isp

and the reply of failed connection(in /var/log/messages) is:

Hi all

Having the same king of issue.

What I try to do is following from home to hosted server

| Home computer |-------| route/fw |----{ internet }-----| Server w/ iptable |---------| 2003 in vmware |

So always did a VPN connection from XP/Vista to Windows 2003 without any trouble using previous schema.

Now trying to setup same kind of vpn connection using NetworkManager and PPTP plugin under fedora 10
No succes for connecting.

On windows side I'm getting :

A connection between the VPN server and the VPN client xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx has been established, but the VPN connection cannot be completed. The most common cause for this is that a firewall or router between the VPN server and the VPN client is not configured to allow Generic Routing Encapsulation (GRE) packets (protocol 47). Verify that the firewalls and routers between your VPN server and the Internet allow GRE packets. Make sure the firewalls and routers on the user's network are also configured to allow GRE packets. If the problem persists, have the user contact the Internet service provider (ISP) to determine whether the ISP might be blocking GRE packets.

Iptables on my home computer is stopped so no difference regarding firewall and internet acces between xp boot or fedora boot.

On linux side, messages file contains :

I don't understand why I'm getting : "Dec 11 21:22:01 tinyhellfire pppd[8046]: LCP: timeout sending Config-Requests"

Any idea please?
