Mobile 2003 and PPTP VPN

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.pocketpc (More info?)

Hi,

I have a known good working VPN setup involving a PPTP Linux server.
I can connect to the VPN server just fine under Windows XP.

But when I try the same operation, using the same username/password
on the same wireless network on an iPAQ hx2xxx, I can not connect and
Linux reports PTE/GRE errors.

Any hints ?

Thanks,

Andre

How about a PPTP connection to a PIX Firewall?

Ok, thanks for that information, I need to check the configuration on my PIX
again then.
