WinXP VM Aborts on Microsoft L2TP VPN Connect --> fixed in SVN

[Dan Berger]

2.2.2 behaves as expected - VPN connects, VM is stable, 2.2.4 and 3.0 both abort on successful connect.

[Dan Berger]

Log with 2.2.2 (sucessful/correct operation)

[Dan Berger]

Log with 2.2.4 (aborts on connect)

[Dan Berger]

Log with 3.0.0 (aborts on connect)

[Dan Berger]

Host is ubuntu 9.04 (jaunty) x86, Guest is WinXP SP2

[vasily Levchenko]

Thanks for report. Could you please collect pcap file and attach it to defect (please look at ​http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Network_tips for details)

[vasily Levchenko]

btw. do you mean by "aborts" crashing or connection aborts? in first case it would be helpful to get ​coredump in second please proceed with my previous comment.

[Dan Berger]

I mean the VM aborts. I'll need to (re)install one of the broken versions before I can upload a core file. I'll do that as soon as I can.

[Dan Berger]

With 2.2.4 (the core file is gzip'ing now)

the core from 2.2.4 is 62M (after gzip -9), the core from 3.0 is the same.

I'd prefer not to attach them to this report for privacy reasons - please contact me directly (dberger _at_ oubliette _dot_ org) and we'll figure out how to transfer the core dumps.

makes you wish *nix had minidumps, huh?

From what I read in the bug report, no one has sent you a full core dump yet.

I am experiencing the same bug. As is my co-worker. I am on Ubuntu 9.04 as a host, he is on Fedora 10. The guests, in both cases, are corporate Windows XP images. So please don't disseminate the core dump I have for you beyond your immediate development team. Also, we had this same problem with 2.2.4, but rather than file a bug report at the time, we rolled back to 2.2.2. Guess we should have chimed in sooner...

I only have the Ubuntu coredump. If you need his dump from Fedora 10, please let me know. So this core I have for you is from my Ubuntu system.

Given it's 182 meg compressed (7zip LZMA), and that it's an image I need to send to you privately, how shall I send you my core file?
