    Hi Everyone!

    I have configured a simple VPN by connecting to my Linux-Box via ssh. To
    get access to my local net, I tunnel the PPP protocol. To do this, I use
    pppd as the login shell for the ssh account with the following options:

    ipcp-accept-local
    ipcp-accept-remote
    proxyarp
    noauth

    For connections from Linux clients this solution works (as it is described
    in the VPN-HOWTO).
    Now I'm trying to establish the connection from a windows client. To get
    access through the existing connection, I used the driver, that comes with
    the Mogura-Project (www.kmc.gr.jp/proj/vpn/).
    I managed to configure the driver, and successfully authenticate after I
    changed the noauth in my /etc/ppp/options.server to auth, and provided a
    dummy pap-secrets file that allows all users without passwords.

    But then the connection fails on LCP ConfReq with the message "LCP:
    timeout sending Config-Requests".
    I believe, I missed some parameter, but I don't know which, since the
    Modura Readme is only available in Japanese, which I can't read.

    Can anyone help?

    Thanks,
    Alex
