[pptp-server] RE: Can I see the network from the PPTP Client PC ??

[George Vieira]

Firstly, is it a typo in the email only or have to messed up your smb.conf
file with the 192.162.1. instead of 192.168.1.?
Also, Do you or don't you want your smb to be domain master and prefered
master as you have mentioned it twice below and yet the first set say "yes"
and yet further down you say "no"..

hosts allow = 192.162.1. 127.

domain master = yes
preferred master = yes

preferred master = no
domain master = no

Does your proxyarp work? It should say that it's found a device to proxy
from, usually eth0 or something..

Yes, I forgot to say that I already had a Samba server in the FW & PPTP 
server box. I have configured that Samba server as a WINS server and I have 
written its IP address in the options.pptp file (ms-wins 192.168.1.1) 
however, I'm not able to get the browse list from the samba server yet.

I don't know what happens. I have assigned a static IP address to the PPTP 
client with the chap-secret file and I have configured the samba server 
following the rules in the SMB-Howto ("Using Samba Across Routed Networks") 
and BROWSING.txt file of samba documentation (right now I'm reviewed again 
the BROWSING.txt file to see if I forgot something)

I think everything is ok, however I cannot browse the PCs in the VPN 
network. I'm not using encryption password and the rules of the FW are very 
simple allowing everything (for now).

The PPTP Client PC is a Windows'95 with Service Pack 1 and the packages for 
VPN. It also receives well the IP of the WINS server.

I use the following versions in the Linux PPTP Server:
pptpd-1.0.0-1
ppp-2.3.10-1
kernel-2.2.12-20
samba-2.0.5a-12

My options.pptp file is the following:

-------------- options.pptp --------------------
debug
name axilin
mru 1450
mtu 1450
auth
require-chap
proxyarp
+chap

# Para ver los demas ordenadores de la red con Samba
ms-wins 192.168.1.1
----------------------------------------------------------

and my smb.conf file is:

-------------- smb.conf --------------------
workgroup = VPN
server string = Samba Server
hosts allow = 192.162.1. 127.
log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m

remote browse sync = 192.168.1.255

domain master = yes
preferred master = yes
wins support = yes
dns proxy = yes
unix password sync = no

encrypt passwords = yes
map to guest = never
