[Bug 968599] New: Failed to establish pptp connection after updating from 13.2 to leap 42.1
http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=968599 Bug ID: 968599 Summary: Failed to establish pptp connection after updating from 13.2 to leap 42.1 Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Distribution Version: Leap 42.1 Hardware: All OS: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Network Assignee: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com Reporter: iwaessle@aim.com QA Contact: qa-bugs@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- After updating several computers of different age (Lenovo Laptop, Shuttle desktop, self build desktop) to openSUSE Leap 42.1 (kernel 4.1.15-8-default) from 13.2 I had no connectivity via pptp VPN any longer. Turning off SUSEfirewall2 resolved the case but is obviously no option. Checks on networkmanager errors and research via google showed that apparently module nf_conntrack_pptp needs to be loaded via modprobe to get things running. The solution I found on the internet was as well proposed by Aeneas Jaißle in bug 927191 for asimilar problem: Can you load the nf_conntrack_pptp module manually and test afterwards? ~ # modprobe nf_conntrack_pptp If it works, you can make loading persistent by ~ # echo nf_conntrack_pptp > /etc/modules-load.d/pptp.conf I didn't validate solution proposed in bug 930896 which looked "fitting" as well -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

I didn't validate solution proposed in bug 930896 which looked "fitting" as well
Then try this first, please and come back if it doesn't work for you.
OK I did some more testing (sorry, first bug I ever report) Case 1: Solution as in bug 930896 : works I implemented it not directly via iptables but chose the way recommended via SUSEfirewall2 Case 2: Solution as above: modprobe nf_conntrack_pptp: works Obviously I didn't adopt the firewall settings for ESP as described in bug 930896 It goes without saying that I cannot connect without applying one of the 2 solutions. Conclusion with my limited knowledge: Both solutions seem to work independently. Thank you for your time. And sorry if I kept you busy without a reason :-) Ingo -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
