VPN PPTP Connection fails when downloading

[zyrg]

I am just "patch" my pptp.
I replace 408 line in pptp_gre.c from

else if ( seq < seq_recv + MISSING_WINDOW ||
WRAPPED(seq, seq_recv + MISSING_WINDOW) )

to

else if (1)

Very dirty hack but ... it just works for me.

What does it do ?

Hi, I'm having the same problem myself. This hack probably removes some check of some sort that has with packets received (by pptp, I assume).

I'll put up a bug-report on launchpad about this, as I I've had this bug for quite some time, and just now bothered to dig deep enough (lol, checking logs) to have something to report.

Some more info I found about this around the net can be found in the bug-report I put up. The fix is still probably a hack, but probably less dirty than the proposed if(1)

The patch has been created to workaround this problem. The patch allows specifying the size of a packet window in command line: https://launchpadlibrarian.net/10056...g-window.patch

How do i apply this patch? Should i apply it on server- or client side?

Client Side - you need to download the source code and then apply the provided patch. both versions should work just fine.
