Title: VPN (PPTP) on a DFL-800 not working with Mac OS X 10.7 Lion.
Post by: just_c on March 29, 2012, 12:54:00 AM
Hi!

We have 3 different DFL-800 with VPN (PPTP) working flawlessly with any Mac running Mac OS X 10.6 or less. However, no Mac with Mac OS X 10.7 Lion is able to connect. I have tried at least 3 different ones.  :'(

Does anyone else have the same problem?
Any ideas on a solution?  ???

The configuration of the VPN-service was done strictly "by the book". Literally i followed the "How to"-pdf from D-link and it used to work.


This is what the system log on the Mac says about the event.

Looks like you aren't the only one with this issue.  This article suggests that a lot of 10.7 users are experiencing the same issues.

Best of luck.
