Need some explanations...

amy

Urrr... how do i compile something? I don't understand this:

Code:
Installation
   *     Download kernel patch: linux-2.6.13-mppe-mppc-1.3.patch.gz or linux-2.4.31-mppe-mppc-1.3.patch.gz,
   *     Download pppd-2.4.3,
   *     Download pppd patch: ppp-2.4.3-mppe-mppc-1.1.patch.gz
   *     Apply patches to the kernel and pppd,
   *     Do eg. quot;make menuconfigquot;. In quot;Network device supportquot; choose quotPP (point-to-point protocol) supportquot; and then mark quot;Microsoft PPP compression/encryption (MPPC/MPPE)quot;,
   *     Mark SHA1 and RC4 algorithms in CryptoAPI's configuration menu,
   *     Compile kernel and pppd,
   *     If you have compiled MPPE/MPPC as module, add to your /etc/modules.conf following line:
   
Code: alias ppp-compress-18 ppp_mppe_mppc

Could someone please tell me what to type in the terminal?

What are you trying to do, there is probably an easier way than recompiling the kernel.

Oh, I thought there is, too. But I can't find any other way to make PPTPCONFIG use MS-CHAP-v2 so I thought that the MPPE (Microsoft Point to Point Encryption) part of the kernel is bugged.
Any other suggestions than recompiling it? Please help! I'm freaking out!   It's already 7 hours trying to fix it...

Have you seen these  from : localhost/pptpclient.sourceforge.net/howto-ubuntu.phtml instructions?

OF course... and it sux! After I install it, run it, set it, etc. I click connect and... It shows me a message:
MPPE required, but MS-CHAP[v2] not performed.

Then I run the debug facilities and in the detailed info the error is explained like this:

Sent: ...lt;MPPE required but not availablegt;
Rcvd(recieved): ...lt;peer refused to authenticategt;
And I thought that this might be a problem with the kernel although it's supposed to support MPPE (it is version 2.6.20)
Please HELP!

The problem is explained here:  from : localhost/pptpclient.sourceforge.net/ho...tml#mppe_bmanp
but i can't understand it!!!

C'mon please someone help me!
