Greetings:
I have set up a VPN with PopTop. My server configuration is
FreeBSD 4.0-Release, and Samba 2.0.6. I have installed the
PopTop port on this server to allow for the VPN connections.
My server has 2 network cards, one internet ip address (ip address
= 24.x.x.x), and one internal non-routable ip address (ip address =
192.168.0.55).
I would like to connect to this server from both internal locations
over my lan, and from remote locations via a cable modem. The
VPN server is connected to a cable modem and a local area
network.
I think that my problem is not with my PopTop configuration, but
with my PPP configuration.
The following are from my configuration files:
/usr/local/etc/pptpd.conf
speed 115200
option /etc/ppp/options
debug
localip 192.168.0.234-238,192.168.0.245
remoteip 192.168.1.234-238,192,168.1.245
ipxnets 00001000-00001FFF
listen 192.168.0.4
listen 224.224.x.x
pidfile /var/run/pptpd.pid
### I don't understand the localip and remoteip lines
/etc/ppp/chap-secrets
dummy D123456
### remote userid = dummy remote userpassword = D123455
/etc/ppp/options
debug
name otis_vpn
auth
require-chap
proxyarp
#### I don't understand the name otis_vpn line
/etc/ppp/ppp.deny
root
toor
daemon
operator
bin
games
news
man
ftp
uucp
xten
ingres
I have read the docs, and am obviously missing something. A
point in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Charles
