After Upgrade from XP to Vista RAS Connections are Failing
I have seen a number of posts on news groups and other forums where customers are not able to setup a RAS connection after upgrading from XP to Vista. The purpose of this post is to explain the cause of this problem in majority of the cases 1. Authentication Protocol Vista does not support the MSCHAPv1 protocol for authentication. The protocols supported on Vista are PAP, CHAP, MSCHAPv2, PEAP and EAP. The default is MSCHAPv2. Hence, if the server is not configured for or does not support any protocol other than MSCHAPv1 then connection setup will fail. Please enable MSCHAPv2 support on the server. 2. Encyption Type Setting Vista supports only strong encryption by default which is 128-bit RC4 for PPTP and AES 128 bit, AES 256 bit, 3DES for L2TP. So, if the server doesnt support these encryption types connections will fail. The solution is to either upgrade the server to support these encryption types or to configure the client to support weaker encryptions types. The latter can be accomplished as follows Change the following registry keys to 1: HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Rasman\Para meters\AllowPPTPWeakCrypto FOR PPTP HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Rasman\Para meters\AllowL2TPWeakCrypto FOR L2TP Restart your machine after changing the value of a key THe following links provide more info http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929857/en-us http://blogs.technet.com/rrasblog/ar...scenarios.aspx
