[pptp-server] Any Ideas????

[Simson L. Garfinkel]

I have precisely the same problem. I can bring up the PPTP VPN. I can ping
and telnet, but SAMBA doesn't work. I can't use \\ipaddr\ or \\servername\
Looking at the samba log, there's nothing there.

Well I've tried to connect to Samba shares and that doesn't work over the
VPN, so I put that aside and simply tried to ping.  From all outward
appearances, I'm connected, but I still cannot ping either machine.  So I'm
having two problems, but I think the first to be solved is Why does it
appear I have a connection, but it doesn't work?

what exactly is the problem you are having? resolving samba shares by name?
getting pptp to connect?

I've been working on getting the PPTP VPN operational for days now and I
can't seem to get it quite right.  I may be missing something obvious, but I
thought I'd through it out and see if a few other set of eyes would help.

Where I'm at...
Server running pptpd, smbd, nmbd @ a.b.c.d - pppd configured to use
192.168.15.91-94 local 192.168.16.91-94 remove

Client #1 running Win 98, ethernet card @ a.b.c.d+4

Client #2 running Win 98, ethernet card @ 192.168.255.2 through NAT @
w.x.y.z

Both clients appear to connect to the server via PPTP, however ping does not
appear to work.

In the case of Client #1, I can ping a.b.c.d without problem since were on
the same net, I cannot ping 192.168.15.91

In Client #2, I cannot ping a.b.c.d or 192.168.15.91

I want to have Samba work also so I know the addresses need to change.  I
don't believe there are any firewalls in place right now.

Here are the ppplog from windows and pptpd.log - Anyone got any thoughts as
to what I'm doing wrong?
