I have to access a windows system via Windows VPN from linux. This worked well with SuSE 9.3. Now, after a break of several months, SuSE 10.0 installed, I am able to bring up a ppp0 interface, but I am not able to USE the line. Before I had to remove one route and to add another one to have everything working. But the same steps don't succeed in SuSE 10.0. (But I don't get log info telling me the problem) Maybe someone out there has any idea? Description of the config (from a working WinXP PC): ==================================================== PPTP-VPN, no LCP Extensions, no compression, no Multi Conn Negot. Nameservers set manually Encryption necessary (not the strongest one) MS-CHAP In Linux, I used pptpconfig (from http://pptpclient.sourceforge.net) for convenient testing. I was able to bring up the ppp0 interface with the following settings: /etc/ppp/peers/vpn1: ==================== remotename vpn1 linkname vpn1 ipparam vpn1 pty "pptp 12.34.56.78 --nolaunchpppd " name xx refuse-eap debug dump noauth file /etc/ppp/options.pptp During the process to bring up ppp0 one route is automatically set: 12.34.56.78 * 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 ppp0 The remote IP-Address has the same value: 12.34.56.78 According to info from pppclient.sf.net this can bring troubles. One of the troubles seems to be that there can occur loops. In the past I simply deleted this route, since this IP address is reachable via normal internet. Since my default route is not going through the VPN, 12.34.56.78 will connect via normal internet. Additionally, I added a route to the lan including the name servers The points where I think to need input are: * Are there bugs in the components in SuSE 10.0 causing strange behavior? * Do I need to change anything with ifconfig ppp0 ? * Which are the routes needed? (please including the route add ... commands!) * changes needed in the /etc/ppp/peers/vpn1 config * everything other important to know/understand in that topic Btw., I am not very well informed regarding network setup, so please feel free to explain a bit more detailed.
