VPN not working after upgrading to Mavericks

Hello everyone,

Just a quick question for you experts 🙂

I'm having a issue setting up a VPN I used to connect on Windows 7 Ultimate. Here on iOS X Mavericks 10.9.2 (actually is updating to 10.9.3) on omission settings, automatic encryption and just a password for authentiphication and IPv4 setting as "use PPP", tells me "can't stablish a connection with the PPP server".

Why is this? is a predifine configuration on Windows that Mac doesn't have?

Thanks a lot

Windows has several things disabled for export reasons or some other such nonsense.

Delete any VPN connections first as you have to create them after these steps or they will not work.

That's not what I was asking BMcWhirt, maybe I misspelled, sorry. I'm trying to connect from iOS X Mavericks 10.9.3 to a Server (probably on Windows Server 2008 or an appliance) via VPN. any docs? thanks!

RE: LCP: timeout sending Config-Requests

This turned out to be a problem with my cable modem/router. It seems that the Technicolor modems (used by Comcast, maybe others) have known issues with VPNs. What delayed diagnosing the problem is that Cisco AnyConnect, Juniper Networks VPN Client + two other less used clients worked fine. It was just vanilla PPTP (on both Mac & Windows OSes) VPN access that failed.

I had Cisco IPSec issues after the Mavericks patch a week or two ago (10.9.5), with similar errors in my logs -

Oct 14 11:09:19 hostname configd[17]: IPSec connecting to server myvpnserver

Oct 14 11:09:19 hostname configd[17]: SCNC: start, triggered by (178) SystemUIServer, type IPSec, status 0, trafficClass 0

Oct 14 11:09:29 hostname configd[17]: IPSec disconnecting from server myserverIP

Oct 14 11:09:29 hostname racoon[18536]: IPSec disconnecting from server myserverIP

FWIW, deleting and recreating my IPsec instances was the final fix. I tried modifying/creating various config files in the racoon directories, restarting racoon each time, but didn't have success until wiping out the VPN configs.
