In cases i can not reconnect, there is a call manager process left, even if there is no other ppp or pptp process (according to 'ps -aux'). It keeps up preventing new pptp-connections, as long as i don't kill it with 'kill -9'. according to > http://pptpclient.sourceforge.net/howto-diagnosis.phtml pptp-servers don't allow 2 connections from one IP. maybe the call manager keeps a connection open. > Have you tried to remove the firewall rules, so they are not a problem?

The Log i sent in my first mail was one, where i was NOT able to reconnect. Log-messages like this (starting with IPCP terminated by peer etc.) are the only ones where this problem occurs. I don't know much (or hardly anything ;-) about ppp and pptp internals, but is there some logic in it, when i assume that, in this case, the ppp-connection is ended, but the ppTp-connection (or whatever) isn't? The Log in my second mail (no response etc.) was one example, where i was able to reconnect. best regards robert -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
