You're the server side?

The client should not have the above five options. Instead, it should just have "noauth." (As long as the client doesn't have a default route, it won't even need "noauth.") > Please note that if I simply change two lines on both > sides: > > add noauth and comment out require-mschap-v2 I get Don't change both sides. The server looks fine. It's the client that's misconfigured. You have it set up so that both sides demand authentication and both sides *refuse* that demand. What else could possibly be the result? -- James Carlson
