[pptp-server] pptp ahd ADSL

[Matthew C. Grab]

Hi,
I have been trying for about 3 or 4 months (not constant) to try and get
this same setup working.  It appears that the suggestions you have made are
different than the other suggestions that I have been given.  First, you
have noauth and noipdefault in the options file.  Secondly, you have a
version of pptp-linux-1.0.2 that you say is patched for the A1000?  Is it
specific for this setup to use the noauth, and the noipdefault?  What do
these do?  Also, what needed patched for the A1000?  (I will look at it, but
I figure I won't be able to find it - I only play a programmer on TV...).

I'm glad to see I'm not the only person stuck with this cantankerous setup.
Mathieu, did you get it working?

Thanks,
Matt Grab

Let's try that :

1. Kernel configuration : validate PPP option in kernel config (native
or module)
2. Download a recent version of PPP if you don't have and configure it.
- For example : ftp://cs.anu.edu.au/pub/software/ppp
- Run ./configure and then ./make all; ./make install
- edit /etc/ppp/pap-secrets and fill in fields :
#client server secret IP adress
your_login at your_isp * password *

-edit /etc/ppp/options
name "your_login at your_isp"
noauth
noipdefault
defaultroute

3. Dowload a recent version of PPTP and install it.
- I recommend you to download this version : (patched for A1000 and
other bugs) :
ftp://ftp.rhapsodyk.net/pub/linux/pptp/pptp-linux-1.0.2-patched.tar.gz

4. Try it !
-pptp 10.0.0.138

BRs,

Fred.
