I have a 1st gen V2.1 32g itouch. I would like to setup a PPTP vpn for home
so that I can connect to it over the public wifi. At home I have a
cable modem plugged directly into a windows 2003 server running RRAS.
The RRAS server appears to be setup correctly because my notebook
logs right into it. When I try to connect using the itouch it gets as far
as "authenticating" then it errors out with this message.
"the connection was terminated by the communication device. please verify
your settings and try again"
The itouch PPTP vpn interface doesnt have a lot of options to tweak. I have
tried turning encryption to auto, max, and none. They all give the same
error. On the RRAS server I have tried turning on all the protocols,
ms-chap v1 and v2, EAp, chap, spap, I even turned on the no encryption
option. Also I have made sure that all the encryption options are checked,
40bit, 56bit, and 128 bit.
I havent tried L2TP yet since I have an older NAT\router that wont work
with L2TP. Currently the router is not in place, my plan was to get the PPTP vpn working with the itouch, then put the RRAS server behind the firewall and
configure it for PPTP. I cant even get the PPTP vpn to work without the firewall in place. Anyone have any ideas? Is there a log somewhere that I can check and get a more detailed reason as to why it failed?
