      Hi Guys, ..
      since using 1.3 Alpha i think PPTP is broken..
      PFSense Log:

      pfsense mpd: PPTP: Incoming control connection from XXXXX 57533 to XXXXX 1723
      pfsense mpd: pptp0: attached to connection with XXXXXX  57533
      pfsense mpd: No free PPTP link with requested parameters was found
      pfsense mpd: pptp0: peer's outgoing call request denied

      and my MacOSX PPTP Log:

      Thu Aug 21 12:30:36 2008 : PPTP connecting to server 'XXXXXX' (XXXXXXX)…
      Thu Aug 21 12:30:37 2008 : PPTP outgoing_call request failed, got result = 7, error = 0
      Thu Aug 21 12:30:49 2008 : PPTP connecting to server 'XXXXXX' (XXXXXXX)...
      Thu Aug 21 12:30:52 2008 : PPTP outgoing_call request failed, got result = 7, error = 0

      kind regards

          Can you both be more verbose about your setups and some tcpdump pcap file would be better too!

              I am attempting to use pfSense as an independent VPN appliance.

              pcap file here:  http://idisk.mac.com/zevlag/Public/pptp1.pcap
              I'd recommend filtering to only see  192.168.15.74 and 192.168.15.192 it's running on vmware and picked up some random stuff.

              my WAN ip is:
              192.168.15.192
              I have no other interfaces.
              My firewall rules on WAN and PPTP VPN are:
              *  *  *  *  *  * none

              I've enabled PPTP server. I've created one user account.  If I can get this to work, I then want to enabled Radius Authentication.

                Same problem on today's snapshot:

                Repeatedly in the logs:

                php: : Could not find gateway for interface(pptp).

                And then when I try to connect:

                Oct 1 20:29:54 	mpd: pptp0: killing connection with xx.xx.xx.xx 52656
Oct 1 20:29:54 	mpd: pptp0: ctrl connection closed by peer
Oct 1 20:29:54 	mpd: pptp0: peer's outgoing call request denied
Oct 1 20:29:54 	mpd: No free PPTP link with requested parameters was found
Oct 1 20:29:54 	mpd: pptp0: attached to connection with xx.xx.xx.xx 52656
Oct 1 20:29:54 	mpd: PPTP: Incoming control connection from xx.xx.xx.xx 52656 to yy.yy.yy.yy 1723

                Where xx.xx.xx.xx is my IP and yy.yy.yy.yy is the pfsense public IP.

                I played with the new settings in the PPTP page but no combination seems to work. I am not using Radius so most of the changes don't affect my setup.

                  Just wanted to mention that I'm stuck with this problem too.

                  I wonder if an install from scratch with the latest snapshot might fix it.

                      Was there a solution found to this problem?

                      Or was this entry, "PPTP server - apparently had issues, now working. ", on http://devwiki.pfsense.org/KnownIssues121 the fix to this?

                        Try the latest build it actually should be solved with later snapshots.
