pptp Unknown attribute 47. Modem hang up



You are setting up PPTP Using freeRADIUS server.
freeRADIUS server is ready to process requests. And PPTP is accepting connections.
Windows clients are working fine and browsing successfully.
Ubuntu PPTP clients connect to server but in less than 10 sec they disconnect.
Server logs:
Server log is showing modem hangup.
Unknown attribute 47.
Unknown attribute 48.
Solution:
This is client side error. The server is working fine. There is no need to check server.
This is maximum transmission unit error on client side. (MTU , the size of largest protocol data unit)
To solve this issue only change MTU of interface through which you are connected to internet.
Enter following command in terminal.
sudo ifconfig eth0 mtu 1400
Change eth0 to interface from which you are connected to internet. MTU value of 1400 at client side. PPTP is connected and not disconneting any more. No modem hang up error on client side.
