jminiman Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 100% reproducible problem! Thinkpad T61 on XP SP3. Current version of Access Connections, Intel Wireless/LAN drivers, etc. I can login to my PPTP VPN server every time without any errors. However, every time I disconnect the VPN, Remote Connections freezes up and I can never re-establish any dial-up connection until I reboot. Ipconfig /release hangs, too. I've tried starting up using msconfig to disable all Thinkpad services and only have the most basic drivers started, and I still get the freeze every time I disconnect. VPN disconnect freeze happens regardless of whether I'm on my WiFi card or a Verizon datacard.Has anyone seen this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jminiman Posted June 15, 2008 Author Share Posted June 15, 2008 I'd like to provide a little more detail. Looks like the callback notification just isn't taking place after I disconnect. Here is what I see:[304] 16:10:39:562: PPPEMSG_Stop recvd<...Stuff Here>[3752] 16:10:40:843: RemoveFromTimerQ called portid=0,Id=10,Protocol=c021,EventType=0,fAuth=0[3752] 16:10:40:843: FsmThisLayerFinished called for protocol = c021, port = 4[3752] 16:10:40:843: FsmThisLayerFinished called for protocol = 80fd, port = 4: 0[3752] 16:10:40:859: FsmThisLayerFinished called for protocol = 8021, port = 4: 0[3752] 16:10:40:859: NotifyCaller(hPort=4, dwMsgId=10)[3352] 16:10:40:953: PPPEMSG_LineDown recvd, hPort=4[3752] 16:10:40:953: Line down event occurred on port 4What I should see is:[17892] 06-15 16:10:29:416: PPPEMSG_Stop recvd<...Stuff>[1480] 06-15 16:10:29:593: PPPEMSG_LineDown recvd, hPort=4[1548] 06-15 16:10:29:593: Line down event occurred on port 4[1548] 06-15 16:10:29:595: FsmDown event received for protocol c021 on port 4[1548] 06-15 16:10:29:595: RemoveFromTimerQ called portid=0,Id=10,Protocol=c021,EventType=0,fAuth=0[1548] 06-15 16:10:29:595: FsmReset called for protocol = c021, port = 4<...Stuff>[1548] 06-15 16:10:29:595: LcpEnd[1548] 06-15 16:10:29:595: Post line down event occurred on port 4[1548] 06-15 16:10:29:595: NotifyCaller(hPort=4, dwMsgId=23)Why is everything hanging after line down event?

jminiman Posted June 16, 2008 Author Share Posted June 16, 2008 Looks like I was able to fix this by forcefully uninstalling several duplicate network adapters (one of them being PPTP) via the registry. I changed the characteristic bit to allow uninstall, and then I just picked off the problematic network adapters in Device Manager. Although the adapters didn't seem to be causing any problems, all my freezing went away when I disabled the dupes. Glad I looked in there!No more freezes now.
