[pptp-server] Connect Problems! Finaly solved ;-)

[George Vieira]

Make sure you have `proxyarp` in your options files and ip_forward enabled
in your network setup.
when the VPN comes up you should get a message like this:

pppd[5829]: found interface eth0 for proxy arp

if you don't then it will not work.

thanks,

Hi Geroge and Andrew !!

Finaly i solved my connect Problems it was our firewall that was not passing
the GRE packets ;-).
Sorry for that, i thought i had checked it up.

So again thanks for great support.

But i have still have a litte Problem ;-) i can't ping/acces the winnt4.0
host.

I can connect to the vpn server but i can't ping/acces any machine behind
the vpn server.
So i think it is a routing Problem. The Dialup to my isp sets the defualt gw
and at the vpn connection is the
defualt gw not enabled.


Win98Client    ISP/Internet    VPN-Linuxserver    WINNT4.0HOST
10.10.1.22 --VPN-TUNNEL----10.10.1.20----------10.10.1.12

So what do i have to do, to ping/acces the server.

I hope you have a good idea.

Thanks therfore
