[pptp-server] Re: client does not get any address

[George Vieira]

I have seen this problem before where the adapters are screwed... Never like
this though, it usually just won't start at all..
I've never heard that problem with Win2K though...
 
 
I guess this is the first thing to do from now on...

hey 
thanks a lot for the help you offered. 
but, strangely enough, i hit upon the solution y'day late night. 
it was the problem of win98 client. 
the network dial up adapters were screwing the scenario. 
i uninstalled and installed all damn adapters on the win98 machine and it
started working perfectly. 
stupid windows98!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 
may be i will take your help if i should need it .............some time down
the line. 
everybody in the list! please note one thing .......... 
if win98 or win2k is giving problems, first you uninstall and install all
the damn adapters on them 
and then go to control panel, add/remove programs/windows setup. 
and install whatever is needed. 
if you install them from control panel/network, let the almighty help you in
your problems 
i was digging around this for more than two weeks and y'day i hit upon the
solution. 
thank god and shun Bill Gates

hey george! 

i am still stuck there. 
i tried a number of ways .........like invoking the pptp from inittab itself
blah blah blah 
no use. 
but "/usr/sbin/pptpd --debug" gives me a strange ( not totally) post in
"/var/log/pptpd.log" 
i am attaching that.

still, neither the client nor the server are able to show the ip addresses. 
coming to the 2 trials for the link, it was tried twice ( so, there are two
posts in the log)

I would remove the +pap in the /etc/ppp/options file and also the logs
appear that it used PAP to authenticate and didn't bring the link up
properly or something...also it appears it tried to bring the link up twice,
one after the other immediately...can you test it without the +pap and make
sure they use chap-secrets file to authenticate..

are you sure the client hasn't dropped off the link for any reason? can you 
provide a log when this happens as the previous logs you supplied were 
different problems/symptoms..

Subject: client does not get any address 


hi , 


after a bit of struggle, i could make the win98 client login through the 
microsoft vpn adapter. 
but, after this, neither the client nor the server show up with any 
addresses which i configured in the 
/etc/pptpd.conf. 
my /etc/pptpd.conf' file is as follows: 
speed 19200 
debug 
localip 192.168.1.230 
remoteip 192.168.1.235-240 
logfile /var/log/pptpd.log 
pidfile /var/run/pptpd.pid. 


and etc/ppp/options is attached here. 


the client shows that he is able to login and even /var/log/pptpd.log as 
well as /var/log/messages show that the client has logged in. but 
strangely enough, 'ifconfig' on the server does not show the above 
address and neither the "winipcfg' on the client. 
any ideas?
