Ronc, You need to set up your vpn connection to allow ip sharing. I don't know if the win98 vpn client is any different then the win2k client. but in win2k, the last tab on the vpn connection options is sharing. when you set that, windows changes you ip address , and you need to change it back to what it was. Let me know if that takes care of the issue. Ronj At 09:09 PM 11/21/2001, you wrote:
Ron,
I have been mucking around with VMWare Express and a Win98 SE installation with VPN. I can connect that way, but I am not setting the route properly.
The eth0 address range is 192.168.10.0 The vmnet interface has address range 192.168.28.0. The VPN address range is 10.200.0.0
When I do ipconfig in Win98, I have:
Ethernet 0 = 10.200.12.4 Gateway 10.200.12.4 Ethernet 1 = 192.168.10.12 Gateway 192.168.10.1
I added a route in Linux as:
route add -net 10.200.0.0/16 gw 192.168.10.12
However, I don't seem to be getting packets routed properly.
Mind giving me a push in the right direction?
Thanks,
-ronc

Ron,
I have one solution, it is a little dirty, but it works quite well. I have a similar situation to what you are describing.
I have SuSE7.2 running on my laptop. I also have a vmware win2k installation. I use the built in windows vpn connections in my win2k environment and then just set up static routes on my linux side to route to the ip address which vmware obtains. (basically vmware obtains an address of x.x.x.1 and the linux side obtains an address of x.x.x.2. I connect on the win2k to my vpn, and then on linux I add a route for y.y.y.y(vpn address range) through x.x.x.1).
It works really well. The M$ vpn client is really quite easy to use compared to anything I have found on linux (pptp is after all a M$ product i believe).
On the other hand if ipsec is an option, you might want to try cisco. They have a linux client somewhere that allows ipsec configuration. I can't quite find the link right now, but I know it's there somewhere.

Hi all,
I am looking for some advice on getting my Linux 7.1 boxes the ability to connect to my office network via MS VPN. I believe that pptp is what I need to use, but I am not quite certain how to best set this up.
Normally I connect via ethernet when I am at home, but when I am elsewhere, I may use dial-up. Regardless, I would like to be able to connect to the home office. When I dial up, I use ppp of course, but not when I am on my home network. Does this cause any issues? Can anyone point me to something that will help me out? I've been doing some reading on the net, but everything seems to assume that you will be using ppp to dial up to a network, hence my first question, above.
Thanks in advance,
Ron Cordell
