In a direct sense, this means that pppd did not receive any LCP configuration requests from the peer, or was unable to agree on LCP parameters.
Which doesn't mean much to me either.
 
 
If there is something else failing, say, you see "cannot stat() /dev/pts/1" in your logs, you have some other problem on the server end.
 
If not, it's likely to be pppd negotiation.
 
 
<!--
Possibilities:
* authentication problems (e.g. requiring MSCHAP2 on one end and the other not doing it)
 
* disagreement on features, e.g.
** requiring unsupported features
** client demands compression when the server has it forced disabled
 
* If you're setting up pptpd:
** GRE traffic not getting through one directon or the other (perhaps use tcpdump to check?)
** to check
 
 
 
Enable any logging verbosity and look for errors before this one.
Note that sometimes the server end is more informative, sometimes the client end is.
 
Without verbose logging you get something like
Aug 11 13:57:26 hostname pppd[14797]: Plugin /usr/lib/pptpd/pptpd-logwtmp.so loaded.
Aug 11 13:57:26 hostname pppd[14797]: pppd 2.4.5 started by root, uid 0
Aug 11 13:57:26 hostname pppd[14797]: Using interface ppp0
Aug 11 13:57:26 hostname pppd[14797]: Connect: ppp0 &lt;--&gt; /dev/pts/17
Aug 11 13:57:56 hostname pppd[14797]: LCP: timeout sending Config-Requests
Aug 11 13:57:56 hostname pppd[14797]: Connection terminated.
Aug 11 13:57:56 hostname pppd[14797]: Modem hangup
Aug 11 13:57:56 hostname pppd[14797]: Exit.
 
 
Since I was using pptpd-style VPN, I edited options.pptpd to mention {{inlinecode|debug}} and got a few sequences like:
Aug 11 14:34:35 tokeh pppd[19619]: sent [LCP ConfReq id=0x1 <asyncmap 0x0> <auth chap MS-v2> <magic 0x4a8258f3> <pcomp> <accomp>]
Aug 11 14:34:35 tokeh pppd[19619]: rcvd [LCP ConfReq id=0x0 <mru 1400> <magic 0x629a766d> <pcomp> <accomp> <callback CBCP>]
Aug 11 14:34:35 tokeh pppd[19619]: sent [LCP ConfRej id=0x0 <callback CBCP>]
 
You want to see a ConfAck, not a ConfRej,
and also see it move beyond LCP.
 
ConfRej basically means a a requested option is not supported,
and it is complaining about CBCP. That was solved by disabling LCP extensions on the windows client,
but was not the real problem.

Another example:
I had a problem connecting to my ISP with a USB ADSL modem. This was not likely to be modem driver trouble, more likely to be something while the connection is established.
Fiddle with your ppp <tt>peers</tt> files. Chances are you're using a stock one that doesn't work with your ISP without some tweaking. In my case the VPI and VCI were incorrect.
