Problem in Windows XP Service Pack 3 (SP3) RC1

[Peter Dassow]

I have no idea if it's already documented and if it's already fixed or not.
I have serious problems with further testing XP SP3, because there is a
major bug in the build in VPN functionality (PPP, RasMan). I planned to test
pptp connections with all home office applications for my company, and it
doesn't work definitely.
I've already looked for some details other users are reporting, and I've
found something related with the Packet Compression feature in PPP, it's
called MPPC and it's negotiated during the initial handshake of a pptp
connection. It seems to be allways enabled, but almost all pptp connections I
know doesn't use this, especially if the gateway side isn't capable of that.
So I am asking for a workaround or just for a refresh with a fixed RasMan
component of the SP3 RC1. Thank you for every helpful hint.
