VPN

[energymedia]

Hey all,

 

I am once again attempting to configure VPN client access from my Mandrake 9.2 linux laptop to both CISCO VPN devices and Windows VPN servers. I have configured access using webmin and when I attempt to connect I recieved the following error:

 

.. connection failed! Check the log messages below for information why.

It looks to me like the problem is that it is trying to connect via ppp0 instead of eth0. If this is a correct assumption, where do I go to reconfigured this? Any ideas?

maybe this helps (if you're connecting to a microsoft VPN-server ..cisco not sure, you maye need to have an extra module ):
