[pptp-server] PPtP Prob...

Can:

You don't have enough clients configured in /etc/pptpd.conf.  Make sure your local and remote lines include (at least) enough ip addresses for the number of clients you'll have connecting.

For example, if you have 5 clients connecting to the server, you need (at least) 5 local and 5 remote addresses configured (assuming the server will assign ip addresses for both the local and remote end of the ppp connection).So if you were using 172.16.1.0 as your network, you would have, say:


local-ip 172.16.1.101-105
remote-ip 172.16.1.106-110

in your /etc/pptpd.conf file.  This would assign 172.16.1.101 to the local end and 172.16.1.106 to the remote end of the first ppp connection to come up (first pptp client to connect) etc, etc.

Remember to restart the pptp server daemon after you make changes to /etc/pptpd.conf :o)


Hope this is helpful

  Dear,
