Hi everyone!
I've had some time as of late to try and fix the problems I was having
before, and I now get the following when connecting between two gateway
machines (i.e. Both have public addresses):
Dec 19 19:48:07 bluey pptpd[18801]: MGR: Manager process started
Dec 19 19:48:15 bluey pptpd[18802]: CTRL: Client 144.132.140.185 control
connection started
Dec 19 19:48:16 bluey pptpd[18802]: CTRL: Starting call (launching pppd,
opening GRE)
Dec 19 19:48:16 bluey modprobe: modprobe: Invalid line 83 in
/etc/modules.conf ^I/lib/modules/2.2.20
Dec 19 19:48:19 bluey pptpd[18802]: CTRL: Error with select(), quitting
Dec 19 19:48:19 bluey pptpd[18802]: CTRL: Client 144.132.140.185 control
connection finished
Dec 19 19:48:19 bluey pptpd[18802]: CTRL: Asked to free call when no call
open, not handled well
Dec 19 19:48:19 bluey pptpd[18802]: CTRL: Asked to free call when no call
open, not handled well
Dec 19 19:48:19 bluey pptpd[18802]: CTRL: Got call clear request after call
manually shutdown - buggy client
After the "control connection finished" message comes up, the pptp-client on
the client machine returns the the command prompt and 'says' nothing, and
then the message after that pop up...
I have this in my /etc/pptpd.conf file:
localip 203.17.40.97
remoteip 203.17.40.109,203.17.40.106
(plus the defaults)
/etc/ppp/pptpd-options:
bluey:/etc/ppp# cat pptpd-options
## SAMPLE ONLY
## CHANGE TO SUIT YOUR SYSTEM
## turn pppd syslog debugging on
#debug
## change 'servername' to whatever you specify as your server name in
chap-secrets
name bluey
## change the domainname to your local domain
domain mydomain.net
## these are reasonable defaults for WinXXXX clients
## for the security related settings
auth
require-chap
#require-chapms
#require-chapms-v2
+chap
#+chapms
#+chapms-v2
#mppe-40
#mppe-128
#mppe-stateless
#require-mppe
#require-mppe-stateless
## Fill in your addresses
#ms-dns 10.0.0.1
#ms-wins 10.0.0.1
## Fill in your netmask
netmask 255.255.255.240
## some defaults
nodefaultroute
proxyarp
Lock
(One thing to note is that the netmask of the internal subnet (the one I
assign Ips in) is 255.255.255.240, but the netmask of the client machine is
255.255.240.0 ... Could that be the problem?)
/etc/ppp/chap-secrets:
# Secrets for authentication using CHAP
# client server secret IP addresses
"paulnet at bigpond" * "*****"
piglet bluey "*****" *
bluey piglet "*****" *
Can anyone see anything wrong? I'm not sure how to fix this...
Thanks!
