thanks for your reply, i went as this article on cisco web site

"Configuring the Cisco Router and VPN Clients Using PPTP and MPPE"

and when i asked my supplier he informed me that the PPTP is not supported by cisco 1841, so i removed the configuration, could please confirm his claims or point me to correct configuration

thanks

Hi

Though i haven't tried configuring PPTP in ISR series i did check the data sheet for more info and found that its not been mentioned anywhere in the report.

do refer this link for the info on supported features.

thanks for the help, yes i went through it & couldn't fidn anything about PPTP or L2TP either. i wonder if there is a document about the unsupported stuff so i would be to save time & avoid it, especially i went through a simialr problem while configuring an IPSec tunnel when i used combination (DES & md5) that wasn't support by the c1841, but was accpeted when entered, which made go in circle until i decided to try another combination (3DES & md5) to find it worked right away.
