Actually I think it was the router; it's been playing up a bit today and my XP computer is connected through a different router. (Both my tablets are connected through one, and my XP through another.)

I just want to check the sequence of things if that's OK:

Flash kernel with image
insmod extra packages
Have fun trying to configure PPTP.

PS will try the commands when I get home, let you know if it's any different.

yes, point 2 must be done after every reboot so it is easiest to add insmod commands to you vpn setup script before using ppp or pptpclient or whatever.

Will try also on device but I think I already tried many times since it is easier to get them directly from web if one has freshly flashed firmware and no ssh server on device.

Worked fine at home, on Ubuntu and tablet, just a problem with router at work.

Any suggestions for resolving a 'no auth possible' message during PPTP connection? (Using pptpclient.) I've tried all variations of the chaps-secret text as per http://pptpclient.sourceforge.net/ho...th_is_possible, but no joy.
