I have 2 VMs running Windows XP Pro x86 SP3 under VMWare 7.1.4. I tried to set up a VPN connection in each of them to a Linux server running pptpd. They both get stuck on "Verifying username and password" for a while and then fail with the infamous error 619. The server log shows:
Jul 21 00:50:24 theserver pppd[17785]: LCP: timeout sending Config-Requests
Jul 21 00:50:24 theserver pppd[17785]: Connection terminated.
Jul 21 00:50:24 theserver pppd[17785]: Modem hangup
Jul 21 00:50:24 theserver pppd[17785]: Exit.
Jul 21 00:50:24 theserver pptpd[17784]: GRE: read(fd=6,buffer=805a560,len=8196) from PTY failed: status = -1 error = Input/output error, usually caused by unexpected termination of pppd, check option syntax and pppd logs
Jul 21 00:50:24 theserver pptpd[17784]: CTRL: PTY read or GRE write failed (pty,gre)=(6,7)
However, if I try to connect to the same server from the VM host (running Windows XP x64 SP2) it works fine! Windows Firewall is disabled on all of the machines.
