Although Tom and I have been successful with PopTop and ADSL, I did run across this problem a few weeks ago that might save some of you time in debugging future problems with configuring PopTop. In fact, you might want to make this the number one question to ask your ISP before ordering their ADSL service. BACKGROUND: One of my customers (a lawyers office in downtown Dallas) wanted me to implement a PPTP solution using their existing Linux based firewall so that they could connect into the office from their homes. Piece of cake, so I thought... considering the work Tom and I have done in setting up our own PopTop servers on linux. IMPLEMENTAION: To make this long and frustrating implementation story short, I was NOT able to implement PPTP at their office due to the fact that the ISP was blocking "syn" type packets at their routers. When I contacted the ISP, they told me that my customer would have to sign-up for their "business" type of service. The business service did not block (filter) "syn" packets . Needless to say, my customer was not willing to pay the 3x price differential to switch service types. They decided to wait until their current contract expired with the ISP and then switch. MORAL OF THIS STORY: ASK YOUR (POTENTIAL) ISP IF THEY BLOCK (FILTER) INBOUND DATA PACKETS BEFORE YOU SIGN ON THE DOTTED LINE. It might save you future frustration in trying to implement an application such as PopTop. In fact, this was the first time I had run into this type of problem with an ISP. I know I'm going to check with my customers ISP "first" before trying to implement any future applications. I wasted way to much time on debugging this PopTop implementation before I determined it was the ISP causing my problems. FWIW: Translating what (I think) this particular ISP did to block (filter) packets at their Cisco routers into the linux/ipchains world, I cut/pasted the following from "man ipchains" [!] -y, --syn Only match TCP packets with the SYN bit set and the ACK and FIN bits cleared. Such packets are used to request TCP connection initiation; for example, blocking such packets coming in an interface will prevent incoming TCP connections, but outgoing TCP connections will be unaffected. This option is only meaningful when the protocol type is set to TCP. If the "!" flag precedes the "-y", the sense of the option is inverted.

Not outbound. e.g. pptp client to a remote PPTP server should work. Your log files at least show a pptp connection being started, then pppd. I could not even get the initital pptp connection when I described my problem with the ISP that had syn filtering enabled at the pptp/pppd server site. I'm no expert a decoding your logfiles, but I do remember having a problem with the pptp client. Once I changed /etc/ppp/options to "noauth" on the client side (not the server side), I finally got it to work.

Please read the responses from "Cowles, Steve" , User SHALE Stuart Hale , awilliam at whitemice.org, and the others, there are hints for the people trying to set up MPPE VPN over ADSL line. As for my case: I did report the problem to the Bell Nexxia helpdesk + I had thrown out their router and did plug the ADSL modem in the back of my gateway and now it works just fine. George. P.S. I did just retry the connection with the router (Cisco 1600) between the gateway and the ADSL line, it works. So the problem was in the line, apparently they did remove some filtering.

Make sure you're forwarding 1723/udp and not 1723/tcp :) Also you have to enable IP protocol 47 as well. If your linux firewall is doing masquerading, then you must have the ip_masq_vpn patch/module, and make sure to 'modprobe ip_masq_pptp' or nothing will work. The ip_masq_vpn patch comes with 2 modules, one for IPSEC and one for PPTP. Haven't tried the PPTP one yet, but the IPSEC one works great. -------------------------- Scott M.
