[pptp-server] a Cosmetic problem

[Jason Staudenmayer]

That a web server/DNS problem
I have several systems running that are not 
in my local DNS and if I don't use the last slash
I times out or tells me it can't find my S: drive.
I think it has to do with reverse lookups to the 
webserver or client. Just always remember to add the last slash
it ain't that hard.

Matt,

With or without proxy doesn't matter.
I'm sure my problem is in the options files.
First let me give you what I sent before so can see the setup
and I'll add my option files.


corporate remote net=192.168.0/24
vpn remote IP=192.168.2.3 (wierd, huh?)
vpn local ip=192.168.0.xxx
nat to my local home net on 192.168.1.xxx
all this happens on my dual if local machine 192.168.1.4 (eth0)
which gateways the my local 192.168.1/24 home net to the pptp vpn
and to the internet through a second if 192.168.2.100 (eth1) connected
through
a
router/cable modem.

normal default static route is to the 192.168.2.100 which gets replaced with
192.168.2.3 during pptp connection.

Everything works fine except this:
when I browse (http) through the vpn it works fine unless the ip is in the
192.168.0 net.
In this case I can get and "/" url, but if I try anything else other than /,
the
connection times out.
i.e. http://192.168.0.10 works ok and http://192.168.0.10/ works ok, but
http://192.168.0.10/anything doesn't. Using hostnames I get the same
results.
All hostnames, local and remote, resolve on my local home net.

I am using pptp-command start to bring up the tunnel.
