Zero Posted August 21, 2005 Share Posted August 21, 2005 Did you have tried the built-in PPTP Client? You may found it in Applications/Internet Connection/VPN. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/732-pptp-client/#findComment-4398 Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulmoscow Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 As I understand, Apple has big issues with support of NAT-T VPN. It reminds me the bad old days of Microsoft when they tried to reinvent every single wheel.

hatoncat Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 The Intel compile of PPTP is a known issue. To put it bluntly, this is a beta, you weren't supposed to use it, Apple didn't finish it. If you want PPTP to work, get a G4/G5. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/732-pptp-client/#findComment-5151 Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulmoscow Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 X86 and PPC have nothing to do with these problems, you will get exactly the same incompatibility with a PPC Mac: Apple has implemented the IETF NAT-T standard (RFC 3947) in Mac OS X Panther (10.3.6+) and Tiger (10.4+). Unfortunately, Apple decided to deviate from the NAT-T standard in a small but subtle way so that it is not compatible with any other IPsec implementation (as far as I know). Mac OS X sends the non-standard vendor ID string "draft-ietf-ipsec-nat-t-ike" instead of "RFC 3947". Additionally, according to some reports Apple actually implemented draft version 8 of the NAT-T standard which was the latest draft before the standard was ratified. This draft version is not the final version and, in fact, draft 8 jumped the gun a bit because it uses invalid numbers which are already allocated by IANA. This means that at this stage the NAT-T support in Mac OS X will probably not interoperate with other IPsec implementations unless they are specifically modified to support this Mac OS X quirk (Apple's Mac OS X Server is probably one of these implementations; the Stinghorn L2TP/IPsec Gateway is another one). http://www.jacco2.dds.nl/networking/freesw...l#NAT-Traversal Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/732-pptp-client/#findComment-5207 Share on other sites More sharing options...
