PPTP on UD3P with onboard nic

[idlehands]

I'm trying to VPN into a MS PPTP connection, which fails both with the network manager, and with a test of the digium vpn software.

 

 

 

This is my ppp.log:

sent [LCP ConfReq id=0x1 <asyncmap 0x0> <magic 0x4faf1162> <pcomp> <accomp>]

When I do a tcpdump -i interface -vv >file and check the fire after testing the connectionI don't see any GRE packets being sent/received.

 

Firewall is off.

 

Would this be something the realtek kexts for the onboard ethernet is not handling correctly? Or am I off base here? I've been working at this issue for 3 days on linux and then figured I try out the connection on my OSX box and I don't even get as far as I was with linux.

 

a coworker on SL says it works aok for him
